| Under a new climate regime ushered in by adoption of the Paris Agreement, the importance of technological innovation efforts has been highlighted. Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), methods to support developing countries in terms of innovation, particularly, research, development, and demonstration (RD&D), have been explored by the Technology Mechanism and the Financial Mechanism. One such method is an incubator & accelerator program. This program is intended to help (technology) entrepreneurs or start-up companies in the process of leading novel technology commercialization. The Technology Mechanism has focused on the possible roles of this program, and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) of the Financial Mechanism under the UNFCCC has been preparing for the set-up of an incubator and accelerator program, called the Climate Innovation Facility (CIF), as a separate financial track to support developing countries’ climate technology start-ups and to trigger climate technology innovation. In this context, the design factors considered in the formation of a ‘climate technology’-targeted incubator & accelerator program of the GCF must be identified. This paper proposed an analytical framework with five key factors for design of successful incubator/accelerator programs on the basis of literature review. Three cases of successful ‘climate technology’ incubator & accelerator programs are selected for study: i) Climate-KIC, ii) Climate Knowledge and Innovation Community, and iii) Global Cleantech Innovation Programme. The afore-mentioned analytical framework is applied to all three cases. The analytical results indicated essential points to be considered in the design of a ‘climate technology’ incubator & accelerator program of the GCF. This paper concludes with policy and scholarly implications, weak points, and future research. | |
