GET.invest (https://www.get-invest.eu/) is a leading programme that supports investment into private sector clean energy projects in developing countries. It is part of the European multi-donor platform GET.pro (https://www.global-energy-transformation.eu/). GET.invest has a focus on Sub-Sahara Africa, as well as activities in the Caribbean and the Pacific. The programme supports all relevant clean energy technologies and business models, assisting project developers and companies towards “bankability” and linking them with financiers. GET.invest also stimulates new partnerships and ventures by providing information about market opportunities, through (online) events, and by cooperating with industry associations. Recently, GET.invest, together with partner Access to Energy Institute launched the Prospect data platform (https://prospect.energy). Prospect is the first open-source, open-access data platform that seeks to remove data and information barriers to investment into the energy transition in developing countries, with a focus on Sub-Sahara Africa.
