The She Wins Climate research project; led by the International Finance Corporation (IFC); aims to generate actionable insights into women-led/owned climate startups in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). This initiative supports IFC¡¯s Inclusive Climate Program and addresses a critical data gap by mapping the presence; performance; and challenges of early-stage climate ventures led by women in regions where IFC is implementing the She Wins Climate acceleration programs.Through a mixed-methods approach; the research will explore business models; financing needs; and ecosystem barriers; while highlighting successful strategies and impact pathways. The findings will inform IFC¡¯s investment strategies and guide ecosystem actors such as venture capital funds; accelerators; and entrepreneurship support organizations in better supporting gender-inclusive climate innovation.
