The AGNIi Mission has been actively involved in the Cleantech space, working with partners to ensure that promising technologies can highlight their innovations in tackling climate change.

AGNIi partnered with AIC-Sangam and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to support the third cohort of the Facility for Low Carbon Technology Deployment (FLCTD) Accelerator.

FLCTD is an acceleration program that is designed to identify promising innovations in need of technical and mentoring support for technology commercialization and go-to-market strategies for scaling up. The insights from the two previous cohorts demonstrated that startups should work towards reducing the impact of greenhouse gases, women entrepreneurs in the cleantech sector need to be promoted and startups require help in commercialising their innovations These learnings were incorporated in the third FLCTD Accelerator cohort.

The AGNIi Mission provided support in technology scouting and outreach for FLCTD. This iteration of FLCTD lists the shortlisted startups with various forms of support, including:

1. Technical and mentorship support
2. Capacity building to accelerate and “de-risk” cleantech start-ups to get them investor ready
3. Need-based support to mature organizations
4. Connecting innovators to existing cleantech incubators
5. Improving the quality of their follow-up applications to the FLCTD Innovation Challenge grant

The program announced final technologies shortlisted according to their sectors.
