Connecting Innovation
to Implementation
Innovate for ClimateTech (I4C) is a technology-focused coalition hosted by GCFC
To connect innovation to implementation
I4C seeks to accelerate the global deployment of climatetech solutions by building the pathways for piloting, scaling, and cross-border adoption of solutions that deliver real impact on mitigation and adaptation. Anchored in the UAE’s commitment to advancing climate action, I4C operates as a global platform connecting innovation ecosystems, investors, and markets across emerging and frontier economies.
I4C enhances the visibility and discoverability of climate technologies through the ClimateTech Search (CTS) platform, a federated gateway connecting innovators, corporates, investors, and governments to verified solutions that advance tangible progress on climate mitigation and adaptation.
is the world‘s first federated search service dedicated to climate technologies.
Powered by TanLIVE, a not-for-profit initiative built by Tencent, CTS aims to accelerate the global adoption of climate solutions by enhancing their discoverability and accessibility across countries and languages.
Unlike conventional databases, CTS does not directly host technology information. Instead, it serves as a gateway, enabling users to search, identify, and access verified climate technologies from multiple trusted data sources, redirecting them seamlessly to the original provider platforms.
Precise Results On Climate Technologies
CTS searches in partners databases that only have structured and concrete climate technology information. No advertisements, no more sifting through complex info
Global One-Stop
CTS will pass your search query to every connected partner site worldwide and consolidate the results back. No need to search in multiple silos any more
In Your Own Language
CTS automatically translates your search query before sending to the partner sites and translate the search results into your preferred languages
From More Reliable Sources
CTS searches from partners with strong local ecosystem presence in climate technologies and hence more reliable information
The CTS is now connecting 20,000+ solutions globally from the exisiting databases maintained by Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), Green Technology Bank, Solar lmpulse Foundation, and WlPO Green. CTS invites organizations with active climate solution databases to join and contribute.
I4C connects proven climate technologies with real-world opportunities for scale, linking solution providers with corporates, financiers, and policymakers to bridge the gap between innovation and implementation across the UAE and emerging markets.
By supporting partnerships, facilitating pilot programs, and enabling cross-border deployment, I4C helps accelerate the uptake of solutions that deliver tangible impact on climate mitigation and adaptation goals.
Key Activities:
- Connecting UAE-based and global solution providers with corporate and industrial partners for pilot and scale-up opportunities.
- Facilitating demonstration projects that validate both commercial and sustainable performance.
- Collaborating with trade and export entities to expand market access for climatetech solutions developed or scaled in the UAE.
