ABOUT US
Oxford Centre for Technology and Development (OCTD) is a research, consultancy and technology company, comprising a team of distinguished researchers, experts, and technology consultants.
OCTD centres its research on two critical contemporary themes: addressing data scarcity, particularly in emerging markets, and climate technology, encompassing ESG, climate start-ups, and sustainable finance.
OUR SERVICES
OCTD is an expert in overcoming data scarcity in emerging markets. It leverages a blend of academic and commercial expertise to develop and use advanced methodologies for precise impact assessment and measurement.
We have a track record of delivering solutions to provide insight into emerging markets and has witnessed a demand for greater clarity over climate metrics.
A significant obstacle to climate tech investment is the ability of investors and startups to measure impact and validate success in facilitating funding for innovations. Scarce and incomplete data complicate prospective investment opportunities, with funds neither efficiently targeted nor effectively measured.
The status quo is failing to meet climate challenges: OECD estimates that USD 6.9 trillion annually is required up to 2030 to meet climate and development objectives. Meanwhile, equity investment in climate startups has declined since 2022.
Aligning financial flows with net zero pathways is more critical than ever.
