81297170-Service Agreement for GET.invest "Finance Catalyst"

GET.invest is a European program that aims at mobilising investments in clean energy. It is hosted on the multi-donor platform GET.pro, implemented by GIZ, and supported by the European Union, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Austria. With six years of successful operation, GET.invest is deeply integrated in the market as a leading solutions provider for access to finance. It is embedded in a strong partnership and cooperation network with associations, similar initiatives as well as financiers. GET.invest is generating substantial results, with a clear upward trajectory: it has supported more than 350 companies and project developers, and linked more than 130 thereof with financiers, representing a projected investment volume of 1.6 billion EUR. More than 65 of these are fully or, in case of several funding sources partly, in financial close, representing an expected investment volume of 0.44 billion EUR. It is fully integrated in the landscape of European support initiatives for clean energy and climate change. In addition, GET.invest has stimulated new private sector partnerships with large and small events with more than 13,000 participants in total. The instrument has built market structures through supporting associations, and it has provided much-needed information relevant to investment for private sector and financiers. However, navigating the landscape of support and financing facilities, can still be a challenge, both for those who are looking for support as well as for those offering it. This is why the European Union has created a One Stop Shop (OSS) as part of its Team Europe Africa-EU Green Energy Initiative. In 2022, GET.invest has been mandated to serve as the Team Europe One Stop Shop, a single access point for information about and facilitated access to support and financing instruments for green energy in Africa.
