The MIT Catalytic Climate Finance Project: Unlocking Investment for Climate Technologies
The MIT Catalytic Climate Finance Project (CCFP) aims to close the financing "valley of death" that stalls emerging climate technologies. Co‑founders Florian Berg and Jason Jay outline new financing models that can move innovations like green concrete and sustainable aviation fuel from labs to markets.
