Partnerships

We invite small groups (4-6 people) connected to specific organizations to join the FDCE program. There is a significant need and demand for clusters of connected organizations and individuals to participate in the program together.  Benefitting from a shared learning experience, group work, and discounted rates, partner organizations can rapidly upskill their workforce and networks. This approach will help deepen knowledge of policy, technology, and business model implications on clean energy deployment and finance. Prepare your teams to respond to political and market shifts, and foster a shared sense of purpose and mission around Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) deployment. Through FDCE, participants will:

• Learn new approaches to analyzing policy implications and identifying levers for change.
• Deepen understanding of clean energy's technological limitations, opportunities and the latest innovations.
• Upskill in project finance modeling and innovative financing approaches.
• Build valuable connections and engage in enhanced networking within a cohort of geographically connected professionals and organizations.
• Apply new knowledge immediately to real-world projects and clean energy initiatives.
• Develop a shared vision and mission around accelerating the clean energy transition in ways that prioritize your organizational goals.
