HCMC – The UK government-funded Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) Vietnam has selected 13 businesses for its 2026 cohort, highlighting growing investor interest in low-carbon technologies and sustainable infrastructure in Vietnam.

The selected businesses come from a range of sectors, including clean energy and energy transition, e-mobility, waste management and circular economy, construction, agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU).

Companies such as Phuc Sang Minh Gas and Alternō are developing biogas conversion and energy storage solutions, while Viet Smart Mobility and Stavian Energy Technology are investing in shared e-bike services and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

In the circular economy sector, New Bioway Organic, BioWraps and ARC-V are developing technologies to convert organic and mixed waste into products such as biofertilizer, biodegradable packaging and bio-oil.

Agricultural firms including SATY, LAB2LIFE, VietRAP, VSAPAT and Bamboo King Vina are promoting climate-smart farming, agroforestry and biochar production, while Zenwood is manufacturing recycled wood composite materials for low-carbon construction.

Under the program, participating businesses will receive tailored technical support to improve investment readiness and strengthen access to financing.

PwC Vietnam, the implementing partner of CFA Vietnam, will provide strategic support through capacity-building workshops and one-on-one advisory sessions with experts in finance, technology and GEDSI, including gender equality, disability and social inclusion, to help increase the companies’ ability to mobilize capital.

Following the capacity-building phase, businesses will engage directly with investors and financial institutions at a matchmaking event scheduled for October.

The event will allow project developers to further refine their financial structures through in-depth discussions with interested financiers, while also creating networking opportunities for stakeholders across the climate finance ecosystem.

CFA is a technical assistance program funded by the UK government and implemented across 10 countries, including Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, South Africa, Thailand and Vietnam.

The program aims to build a sustainable pipeline of bankable low-carbon projects in each country as part of the UK’s broader efforts to support global climate action, improve access to climate finance and help governments achieve targets under the Paris Agreement.
