The global challenge as we see
Aligning mission and capital
Core market challenge in scaling climate solutions is not technological but a structural failure. The Mainstream venture capital model is misaligned with the needs and emerging requirements of climate tech startups. Humanity and the planet urgently need these solutions, and that drives our search for alternative business and ownership models. We iteratively learn and apply our learnings by actively participating in the co-creation, funding, and scaling of mission-driven ventures, specifically in emerging markets.
We partner in your success
OCTD partners directly with a curated group of founders and funders, providing critical matchmaking and market access needed to launch, commercialise and scale the next generation of climate tech.
Oxford Centre for Technology and Development (OCTD) is a trusted member to notable public and private institutions, is an active member of the Oxford Innovation Ecosystem, and a grantee of Innovate UK, undertaking projects and creating value in emerging and frontier markets.
