Lays out the case for public-private partnership in climate innovation, offering a blueprint for how cities, ministries, and startups can co-create policy and projects.
Governments are key players in accelerating the green transition—but they can’t do it alone. Startups are agile, inventive, and close to the ground. What’s missing? Better collaboration. Here’s how governments and entrepreneurs can co-create sustainable change.
The Opportunity
Governments control procurement, regulation, and investment. Startups bring creativity, speed, and community insight. When they work together—magic happens. Cities reduce emissions. Youth get jobs. Solutions scale faster.
What Governments Can Do
- Create challenge-based procurement for green startups.
- Offer testbeds or “regulatory sandboxes” for cleantech pilots.
- Include startup voices in climate policy design.
- Build public-private innovation platforms.
What Startups Need to Do
- Learn how government works—speak their language.
- Measure impact and outcomes.
- Form consortia to bid for large projects.
