UK Embassy unveils 13 low-carbon businesses

According to the British Embassy, 13 pioneering businesses with emission reduction solutions have been selected to participate in the Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) Vietnam 2026.

The 13 Vietnamese enterprises announced by the British Embassy possess solutions that contribute to accelerating Vietnam's transition to a low-carbon economy. After a rigorous selection process, these businesses were chosen for their potential to generate significant positive climate impacts while contributing to economic growth, job creation and social inclusion.

The selected enterprises come from various sectors, such as clean energy and energy transition, electric vehicles and e-mobility, waste management and the circular economy, construction and agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU). From 2022 to 2024, CFA Vietnam supported 21 climate-focused businesses and projects in accessing finance from investors.

The Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) is a technical assistance program funded by the UK. The CFA has been implemented in ten countries, including Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, South Africa, Thailand and Vietnam, aiming to build a sustainable pipeline of bankable low-carbon projects in each nation. This program is part of the UK's broader efforts to support global climate action, facilitate access to finance, and help governments achieve their climate goals under the Paris Agreement.

In Vietnam, PwC Vietnam is responsible for implementing the program with the CFA Vietnam 2026 business cohort, which includes Phuc Sang Minh Gas, Alterno, Viet Smart Mobility, Stavian Energy Technology Joint Stock Company (SET), New Bioway Organic, BioWraps, ARC-V, Bamboo King Vina, LAB2LIFE, VietRAP, Northwest Clean Agricultural Food Joint Stock Company (VSAPAT) and Zenwood.

PwC Vietnam, the implementing partner of the CFA Vietnam program, will provide strategic support through capacity-building workshops and one-on-one advisory sessions with financial, technical, and GEDSI (Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion) experts, aiming to enhance the enterprises' chances of raising capital.
