Climate Tech Startups & Funding

•

Indonesia

Five Indonesian climate and clean energy startups have been selected for funding through the KINETIK NEX Entrepreneurs Program, a collaboration between New Energy Nexus and the Australia-Indonesia Climate, Renewable Energy and Infrastructure Partnership. The program supports local innovators in energy transition and climate resilience, with a focus on expanding clean energy access beyond urban centers. One recipient, Difabike, will use the funding to scale its Difaride, Difabox, and Difatour services, aiming to strengthen long-term sustainability and community impact.

•

Global

Climate tech startups continue to attract significant investment. In the first half of 2025, early- and growth-stage climate tech investment totaled $13.2 billion, down 19% from the same period in 2024, but still reflecting robust global interest. Major investors, sovereign wealth funds, and corporate venture arms are channeling billions into clean hydrogen, battery recycling, precision agriculture, and AI-driven energy optimization.

•

Yale & New Haven

The Planetary Solutions Impact Accelerator at Yale will grant $100,000–$250,000 to six climate startups. ClimateHaven, a Yale-backed incubator, lost $1 million in federal funding but is seeking alternative support from corporate partners and private philanthropy to continue its mission.

Clean Energy Innovations

•

Renewable Energy

Solar, wind, and hydropower remain at the core of climate tech innovation. Startups are increasingly integrating biofuels and geothermal energy, and developing off-grid solutions for remote communities.

•

Energy Investment

Global energy investment exceeded $3 trillion in 2024, with $2 trillion directed toward clean energy technologies and infrastructure. Clean energy now receives nearly twice the investment of fossil fuels.

---

ESG Investing & Green Finance

•

Investor Trends

Climate tech is among the top three categories for venture funding globally. Green bonds and climate-focused private equity funds are driving capital into early-stage ventures. However, concerns about greenwashing persist, with investors demanding verifiable emissions reductions and real impact.

•

Funding Platforms

OpenVC’s database lists thousands of investors actively funding climate tech startups, including VCs, angels, and accelerators. Startups like Mobly, Paxum, and Laennec AI have secured seed funding through such platforms.

---

Climate Policy & Public Support

•

Policy Drivers

Tax credits for low-emission buildings, grants for carbon capture research, and subsidies for renewable infrastructure are creating market certainty for climate tech startups. Public-private partnerships are crucial for de-risking innovation and accelerating adoption.

•

Indonesia

The KINETIK NEX program exemplifies how international partnerships can support local climate action and inclusive growth.

---

Environmental Innovations & Carbon Impact

•

Carbon Capture & Removal

Innovations in carbon capture, the circular economy, and sustainable resource utilization are key trends. Startups are developing solutions for carbon removal and low-emission materials.

•

Carbon Metrics

The Earth’s surface temperature reached a new record of 1.6°C above pre-industrial levels in 2024, underscoring the urgency of climate action. Startups are focusing on measurable emissions reductions and scalable solutions.
