This free platform, developed by the International Renewable Energy Angency (IRENA), is open for project owners, governments, financiers, and service and technology providers so as to develop and drive investments to new renewable energy projects in Africa.
The virtual market place contributes to liaising between project developers and investors to accelerate the scale-up of investments on low-carbon renewable energy projects. Financiers and service and technology providers can search efficiently for information on various projects which need funding sources and expertise while projects owners can easily access relevant financiers and advisors. Users are also able to communicate directly through the market place with IRENA for special requests.
