TechEmerge lleva tecnologías a nuevos mercados, impulsando la innovación sostenible a las economías emergentes donde más se necesita.

Después de programas exitosos en India y Brasil, TechEmerge se está expandiendo al vital sector de refrigeración de América Latina.

TechEmerge unirá a compañías innovadoras de todo el mundo con compañías y municipios en México y Colombia para poner a prueba tecnologías, productos y servicios de refrigeración que sean climáticamente inteligentes y energéticamente eficientes y crear asociaciones comerciales.

PRONTO LANZAMIENTO.  INSCRÍBASE PREVIAMENTE PARA EXPRESAR INTERÉS Y MANTÉNGASE ACTUALIZADO SOBRE EL DESARROLLO DEL PROGRAMA, INCLUYENDO EL ANUNCIO DEL LLAMADO ABIERTO A FINES DE MARZO.

OPORTUNIDADES DE REFRIGERACION SOSTENIBLE

Las compañías innovadoras serán seleccionadas a través de un proceso competitivo y luego invitadas a reunirse con potenciales socios piloto en México y Colombia para discutir cómo poner a prueba su tecnología, producto o servicio y comercializarlos en estos mercados crecientes.

IFC y un panel de expertos de la industria proporcionan apoyo durante la entrada al mercado y la transferencia de tecnología para mitigar los riesgos financieros y operativos para los innovadores y los riesgos de adopción para los gobiernos, las empresas y otros proveedores / usuarios de refrigeración locales. Los proyectos piloto también pueden acceder a fondos de subvención de hasta USD 1,5 millones.

30+ corporates, utilities, and municipalities have already expressed interest in partnering with TechEmerge innovators to pilot new cooling solutions in the Latin American market.

HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?

---

• Assess: We identify challenges and gaps in emerging markets, talking in person with local organizations to ensure we understand which technologies could best meet their needs.
• Source: We launch an open call for innovators from around the world who have market-relevant solutions to apply to join the program.
• Select: With the support of a network of expert advisors, we select high-performing innovators with proven technologies that can meet the needs of participating local organizations.
• Match: Through a carefully curated process, we arrange events and meetings for the shortlisted innovators to meet local organizations, demo their products, and discuss working together in pilot projects.
• Pilot: With our support, selected innovators and participating organizations partner to test technologies in a local setting.
• Commercialize: If the pilot is successful, the local organization and innovator may decide to enter into a commercial contract.
