Innovation for Impact

Innovation is an essential transformative force for accelerating climate action and sustainable development. In a global context demanding faster, more accessible, and more efficient solutions, technology and entrepreneurship have proven to be key tools for addressing complex challenges such as decarbonization, urban resilience, food security, and the energy transition. However, many innovative solutions face barriers to scaling, attracting financing, or integrating into existing systems.

 

At ROA Partners, we believe that impact-oriented innovation must be driven by an ecosystem that combines technical capabilities, effective measurement frameworks, strategic alliances, and access to capital. This requires not only supporting entrepreneurs, but also strengthening the platforms that incubate them, the institutions that support them, and the instruments that finance them.

 

We support startups, entrepreneurs, and accelerators developing innovative climate solutions, helping them integrate environmental and social standards, scale their business models, and attract strategic investment. We design monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) frameworks tailored to the context of impact entrepreneurship, provide training and technical support, and collaborate in structuring funds and early investment mechanisms. Our vision is to build a dynamic ecosystem where disruptive technological solutions can access financing, strengthen their operational capacity, and scale with impact.
