Clean Growth Program semi-finalists
Launched on November 5, 2017 the Clean Growth Program received over 750 submissions. After undergoing in-depth expert reviews, the semi-finalists were invited to submit full project proposals. 104 proposals were received and reviewed by an expert panel. 50 projects were then selected to advance to final due diligence prior to signing a contribution agreement with the Program. As these projects are announced they are posted to our Current Investments page.
(Four semi-finalists do not appear on the list as they do not wish to be disclosed).
