Gaia Impact contributes to the development of access to energy in emerging countries in Africa and Asia. The fund invests in locally-based entrepreneurial projects that offer clean, reliable and affordable energy solutions.
With Gaia Impact, we've found an expert partner to help us tackle the major issue of access to low-carbon energy in emerging countries. We want to act on a global scale and to contribute to helping people in emerging countries achieve sustainable living conditions. We do so through specialized funds and European companies operating in these countries. Thanks to Gaia, 2 million people have already gained access to green, low-cost energy and 300k tonnes of CO2 emissions have been avoided. With Gaia, we aim to help 4 million people gain access to energy and avoid 4 million tonnes of CO2 emissions. In Gaia's portfolio we are particularly interested in:
Cutting-edge refrigeration technology, enabling the delivery of vaccines in developing countries
Hardware and software solutions to optimize solar energy systems and facilitate access to electrification in Africa
Solar water pumps for irrigation to improve yields for small farmers in Asia
Crowdfunding for solar energy projects in emerging countries
