PFAN Special Award (worth SGD 13,000)

 

Assessment of Project

 A panel of PFAN industry veterans will assess the project for commercial and financial viability. PFAN will select projects for further coaching based on PFAN eligibility and level of maturity (projects that are commercial and near investment-ready).

 

Assignment of PFAN Advisor to Coach Project

A PFAN Advisor will be selected matched to the project based on business types and technology proposed. This is to maximise the coaching effectiveness during the given contract period. The PFAN Advisor will focus on three main areas:

  • Business Plan
  • Financial Plan
  • Investment Pitch

 

Re-assessment of Project after Advisory Period

After projects complete the initial phase of “Project Development” coaching, they will be re-evaluated by a PFAN panel for completeness and assessed for their readiness for investment.

 

Investment Facilitation

Projects that are deemed “Investment-Ready” will be showcased to PFAN Investment Members, as well as to investors beyond the PFAN network. Some projects may be nearly investment ready, and these projects may be promoted directly to be managed by PFAN Investment Facilitation Team.

 

Access to PFAN Network of Investors and Partners

Projects that have been accepted for PFAN advisory services will have access to our Network Members. This not only improves their chance of financial investment, it also allows opportunities to collaborate with industry partners to market the solutions or products of the project.

 

Criteria for PFAN selection

  • First and foremost, projects should be commercially and technically viable, and have a strong management team.
  • Project or business must provide offer benefits in the areas of (a) clean energy technologies, products or services; (b) other areas of greenhouse gas mitigation (e.g., sustainable landscapes); or (c) climate change resilience and adaptation.
  • Projects must be targeted toward low- and middle-income countries, and have business operations, or business development activities in these countries.
