Clean Growth Fund is a climate venture capital platform, empowering UK clean tech entrepreneurs with the expertise and capital that they need to tackle the climate crisis. We have made 19 investments so far. We look for innovations that will abate significant amounts of CO2-eq per year and will typically make an initial investment between £500k and £5m, during Seed or Series A stages. We invest in technologies that significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions or improve resource efficiency across: power and energy systems, transport and mobility, industrial decarbonisation, buildings and the built environment, agrifood and land use, circular economy, waste and water.

At Speak Carbon Collective, we believe people are at the heart of the action we need to take in response to our changing climate. Our three-stage change model – Engage, Empower & Embed – supports organisations to mobilise their people with the confidence and knowledge they need to accelerate decarbonisation.
