The UK government-funded Climate Finance Accelerator Pakistan has selected eleven businesses for its 2026 cohort, backing climate-focused companies working to accelerate Pakistan’s low-carbon transition. The program announced the selections on June 9, 2026.
The selected businesses span six sectors identified as critical to Pakistan’s climate transition: energy, transport, waste and circular economy, agriculture, buildings and construction, and financial inclusion.
They are Go Seed IT, Biowaste Energy Ventures, Bioenergy Solution, A.S. Enterprises, Trash It, Sahara Recycling, Waste Busters and EnterTech Labs, EcoEdge AI, Daewoo Pakistan Express Bus Service, Buscaro Technologies, and Akhuwat Islamic Microfinance.
Each selected business will receive up to five months of group and one-to-one support from financial, technical, and gender equality and inclusion experts to strengthen their investment readiness. In October 2026, all 11 will pitch their projects at a dedicated event for climate investors, building direct relationships with potential financiers and receiving tailored feedback on their proposals.
The CFA Pakistan programme has been running since 2022 and has supported 22 projects toward commercial deal-making, mobilizing approximately $40 million in investment. Past beneficiaries include Davaam Life, Shams Power, Concept Loop, and National Foods. Globally, the programme has supported over 230 projects and unlocked more than $500 million in investment.
British High Commissioner Jane Marriott said Pakistan was highly vulnerable to climate change but also had the talent and ideas to lead climate innovation. CFA Team Lead Vardah Malik said the selected cohort represented a strong mix of startups and growth-stage enterprises operating in sectors critical to Pakistan’s sustainable development, adding that the programme would focus on investment readiness, environmental management, and inclusive growth.
