How Cleantech Can You Go ?
The Global Cleantech Innovation Programme (GCIP) for SMEs is a global initiative with the goal of promoting clean technology innovation and supporting SMEs and start-ups. The GCIP is a United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) initiative hosted and jointly implemented in South Africa by the Technology
Innovation Agency (TIA).
Based on the successful Cleantech Open Accelerator, the initiative aims to spur local innovations
in energy efficiency, renewable energy, waste to energy, and water efficiency; maximizing every
participant’s chances of being successful in the programme and raising their probability
of achieving sustainable commercial success. The programme combines a competition
and a business accelerator to offer the participating entrepreneurs progressing through the
programme:
• extensive mentoring and training on core business-related competencies for start-ups and
SMEs, as well as specific technological, IP, financial and marketing skills • the possibility to
liaise with potential investors and partners • opportunities to showcase their technological
innovations to the media and the public • a chance to win cash and national business support
awards, in addition to a trip to the United States of America (Silicon Valley) to participate in the
Cleantech Open Global Forum.
