CTI PFAN Asia Forum for Clean Energy Financing in Brief

The CTI PFAN Asia Forum for Clean Energy Financing, to be held in Bangkok, Thailand on 4th March 2010, will showcase high-quality clean energy projects from around the Asia region in front of some of Asia’s leading investors. The Forum seeks proposals from clean energy entrepreneurs and businesses that are financially viable, socially responsible and environmentally beneficial. Participation is open to project developers, businesses and entrepreneurs from across Asia*.

The Forum is being sponsored by the Climate Technology Initiative (CTI) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) with overall support from the International Center for Environmental Technology Transfer (ICETT) of Japan. The Forum is part of the work done in Asia by the CTI Private Financing Advisory Network (CTI PFAN) with organizational support from the USAID’s ECO-Asia Clean Development and Climate Program (ECO-Asia) and ReEx Capital Asia.

The highest-quality projects will be presented at the Forum to potential investors and financiers. Developers of the selected projects will receive one-on-one coaching and mentoring from CTI PFAN at a one-day workshop on 3rd March 2010 prior to the Forum.

The Forum will be conducted in a competition style and awards will be presented to those proposals with high business potential.

* Proposals from India and China are excluded since there will be dedicated national business plan competitions in both countries during 2010.
