The 2018 SEED Practitioner Labs Climate Finance series in India, Thailand and Uganda brought together around 200 leading investors, banks, development finance institutions, foundations, governments, innovators and intermediaries to jointly prototype tangible solutions to major climate finance challenges. Lab practitioners, facilitated by SEED Prototyping Tools, turned challenges into solutions as they designed and mobilised support for robust prototypes that innovate the next generation of climate finance products for their target markets.

The Practitioner Labs Climate Finance are part of the implementation of “Financing and capacity building for micro and small climate-smart enterprises: Filling the gap of the missing middle”, a project supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety.

This report summarises the innovative climate finance products developed as part of the SEED Labs process in India in primary partnership with TARA with Grameen Capital, New Ventures and GIZ with VNV Advisory.
