Finance
Access to capital is essential for the start up and growth of businesses in general and particularly
for the development and exploitation of Eco Innovation. However, there are many challenges
faced by small to medium sized enterprises (SME) and financial actors in this domain.
Chamber of Eco Commerce (CEC) brings together individuals and organizations in a way that
does not require a large investment of funds and time. By pooling our contacts and resources,
we can develop unique financial instruments to help bring innovations to market in a quick and
efficient manner. Together, we can overcome market penetration challenges and remove
barriers accelerating access to funding, markets, and government approval process.
Our projects are about commercializing innovation and innovative business ideas. Each project
brings together experts, leaders, learners, innovators, entrepreneurs, investors and advisers.
An outcome is creating new partnerships and finding the most efficient ways of
financing Innovation.
