Financing Circular Economy

The transition to a circular economy requires not only innovative business models but also the right financial tools and strategies to drive change. From blended finance solutions to impact investing and circular bonds, the finance sector has a crucial role to play. Realizing the full potential of these solutions requires strong collaboration, shared insights, and a collective approach to overcoming financial barriers.

The PREVENT Finance Working Group aims to foster cooperation and exchange of knowledge among financiers, stakeholders and organisations, towards a more connected and effective financial ecosystem for the circular economy.

As a member of the Finance Working Group of PREVENT, I have greatly benefited from its collaborative network, which enabled me to organize a team of experts and facilitators to develop a project proposal on Black Soldier Fly technology in Africa. Through PREVENT’s support, we successfully mobilized resources, leveraged each other’s skills, and secured funding from the CCAC, demonstrating the platform’s unique and impactful approach to collaboration.

While thinking about financing, it is critical for organisations in the circular economy space to evaluate the choices with respect to the source, nature, and quantum of funds they can access. PREVENT has done a great job in terms of building and offering resources in this regard.
