Capital for Impact

To advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) we aim to unleash the full potential of blended finance for large-scale private capital mobilisation. We strive to contribute to financing the economic transitions required for a more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable future.

Systemic Solution

We aim to overcome structural challenges of blended finance, i.e., the catalytic use of public funding to leverage private capital for SDG investment.

Systemic solutions are needed to simplify and accelerate the cumbersome process of capital formation between multiple public and private investors. We are therefore working towards standardisation of blended finance requirements, vehicle types, and processes.

Investment with Precision

But we don’t stop there. We are also aiming to build a specialised, first-of-its-kind entity – an engine which is capable of putting these standards immediately into practice.

This professional service provider will be dedicated to streamlining the entire development and management process of public-private cooperation for blended finance transactions.

Driven by Global Development Agendas

SCALED was formed to help close the financing gap to achieve the global development, climate, and biodiversity goals. By mobilising large-scale private capital through standardised blended finance solutions, we contribute to advance sustainable investments in EMDEs.

We are actively engaged in relevant international processes and build partnerships with other initiatives aiming to promote private capital mobilisation for sustainable development.
