Unlocking finance and scalability for cold rooms as a service
The BASE Foundation is hosting a three-part webinar series as part of its Servitisation for Energy Transition and Your Virtual Cold Chain Assistant initiatives to bridge the financing gap in the agricultural-cooling landscape. This series will focus on financing agricultural cold rooms that deploy a Cooling as a Service business model, exploring different funding options involving donors, banks, institutional investors, and cooling companies, as well as identifying barriers and opportunities to invest and access finance. The goal is to foster exchange between financiers and cooling companies to facilitate scaling decentralised off-grid agricultural cold storage. Webinar 1 - 08/11: Cold Storage Financing in Agriculture: Where are we now and where do we want to go? Webinar 2 - 15/11: Unlocking Finance for Cold Rooms and Cooling as Service: Insights and Strategies from the Field and Financiers Webinar 3 - 22/11: Link, Learn, Lead: Connecting Financiers and Cooling Companies for scaling decentralised off-grid agricultural cold storage
