The Programme aims to strengthen climate technology entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems across five Southeast Asian countries: Cambodia, Lao PDR, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Viet Nam. The Programme comprises four interconnected components: Component 1: Country-Driven Acceleration Readiness (National Climate Entrepreneur Accelerator Programme N-CEAP) Component 2: Global Acceleration (Regional platform for high-performing startups) Component 3: Climate Technopreneurship Fund (USD 200 million investment facility) Component 4: Technical Assistance (Ecosystem strengthening and policy support) Within the Philippines, GGGI leads the implementation of Component 1 through the National Sustainability Management Unit (N-SMU). Component 1 focuses on establishing and operating the National Climate Entrepreneur Accelerator Programme (N-CEAP), a structured acceleration-readiness programme designed to strengthen the capacity of Philippine-based climate technology startups and prepare them for investment and scaling opportunities.

The Programme targets seven priority climate technology groups: 1. Renewable energy and energy storage 2. Energy efficiency and management 3. Low-carbon mobility and transportation 4. Sustainable agriculture and food systems 5. Water management and sanitation 6. Waste management and circular economy 7. Nature-based solutions and climate adaptation Expected Impacts: Component 1 implementation in the Philippines is expected to contribute to programme-wide targets of: 1.6 million tons of GHG emissions avoided 2.3 million direct and indirect beneficiaries reached Strengthened national innovation systems and climate entrepreneurship ecosystems Enhanced capacity of national institutions to support climate technology commercialization ASSIGNMENT OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this assignment is to engage a competent and experienced consulting firm or consortium of firms to serve as the Implementing Firm for Component 1 of the Climate Technopreneurship Programme in the Philippines.
