Puiyan Leung: Demystifying ClimateTech Investment in the Context of Southeast Asia — Part 3

As an early stage venture capital firm, we are not an impact fund but we recognise we have a role to play when it comes to sustainability. We believe that by being selective in our investment approach, we can generate profits to our stakeholders without compromising our responsibility to the society, economy and environment.

We are also actively looking for investment opportunities that would create both meaningful returns and positive impact to the environment. In this 3-Part series, our partner Pui Yan Leung took a deep dive into the sector of Climate Tech, by first giving the lay of the land in SE Asia, the underlying issues and opportunities.

Southeast Asia is one of the world’s fastest growing economies, and its transition journey will bring about US$218 B worth of ClimateTech investment opportunities between 2018 and 2025. Leung Pui Yan and Lee Zi Xin concludes the 3-part ClimateTech series by shedding light on specific areas with great potential in SEA, as well as how we as venture capital (VC) investors can play a role in evaluating and backing high potential regional ClimateTech startups.
