About Global Innovation Fund

Global Innovation Fund backs scalable, market-based innovations that can improve the lives of people living on less than $5/day, with a strong emphasis on solutions that can prove impact and attract follow-on capital. Their portfolio spans climate resilience, inclusive economic opportunity, agriculture and food security, education and skills, and health—often in emerging markets across Africa and Asia. They stand out for using flexible capital, including grants, loans, convertible debt, and equity, to support early- to growth-stage ventures and social enterprises that can scale.
