The world’s first green fintech taxonomy has today been launched by the Green Digital Finance Alliance (GDFA) and the Swiss Green Fintech network, at the Building Bridges Summit in Geneva.
Initiated by the State Secretariat for International Finance SIF, the Green Fintech Network includes experts from start-ups, corporates, investors, universities and support organisations. Today the group has launched its action plan containing 16 concrete proposals ranging from a fund of funds to an annual innovation challenge.
The Green Fintech Network, an informal group of experts from the green digital finance ecosystem, contributes to this ambition. Its goal is to identify areas to improve the framework conditions for green digital finance in Switzerland, to suggest concrete actions and to assist in implementing selected actions. CEOs of start-ups like Celsius Pro, Rep Risk or Yova are members as well as supporters – Gerrit Sindermann (F10), Mariana Christen Jakob (SEIF) – and experts from Übermorgen Ventures, EY, Swisscom and the Zurich University of Applied Sciences.
