Catalytic Capital’s Promise to Meet the FOAK Project Emergency
What’s covered
The urgency of scaling first-of-a-kind (FOAK) climate projects brings us to the critical role of catalytic capital in today’s climate investing landscape. FOAK projects often confront significant financial and systemic barriers, particularly as they bridge the notorious “commercialization valley of death” from pilot to commercial scale. This breakout will feature a panel discussion on the pivotal role of catalytic capital in closing the funding gap and the strategic contributions of corporate investors to accelerate the scaling of essential climate technologies aimed at achieving net-zero targets by 2050.
It will also showcase a case study conversation led by a growth stage startup navigating the FOAK path, along with insights from their key stakeholders, including corporate offtakers, detailing vital lessons learned in pursuit of innovation and scale.
