About ENTICE

ENTICE is an initiative powered by The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) that is incentivizing innovations at scale for energy transitions. Interest from venture capitalists is often low during Series A funding (being focused more on Series B and C funding), as a result, start-up ideas do not progress beyond the drawing board.

WHY ENTICE?

The current energy landscape presents significant challenges and unmet needs in achieving green energy transitions.

  • Technical Challenges: The execution of clean energy solutions is faced by challenges such as elongated development and execution timelines and lack of infrastructure for deployment of clean energy solutions.
  • Financial Challenges: Scaling up tech and innovation requires far more capital than what is currently available, limiting opportunities for commercialisation of products in the market.
  • Regulatory Challenges: The deployment, scaling, and adoption of green energy technologies are often hindered by regulatory complexities and barriers.
  • Supply-Demand Imbalance and Skill Building: Limited advocacy and incentivisation on the demand as well as supply side hinders the adoption of innovative clean energy solutions. Additionally, there is a need for skill building and mentorship support to businesses for scaling of projects.

To accelerate India’s progress towards its sustainability goals, we must deploy new strategies, models, and approaches driven by innovation. 

India’s thriving startup ecosystem and growing clean energy industry provides an unparalleled opportunity to lead the way in devising innovative and effective solutions and getting closer to our sustainability targets
