With the climate landscape changing at a rapid pace finding effective long-term solutions requires more than good ideas, it demands strategic partnerships that can transform promising innovations into scalable, investment-ready ventures. That’s exactly what Action on Poverty is working towards through its collaboration with P4G.
Partnering for purposeful growth
P4G (Partnering for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030) is a pioneering platform accelerating impact-driven investments to support inclusive, net-zero transitions. By focusing on ready-stage climate businesses, P4G helps local innovators deliver solutions across food, water, and energy systems through grant funding and strategic support.
Action on Poverty is partnering with P4G to support three innovative technology startups in Vietnam, with each venture representing a unique approach to addressing climate challenges while creating sustainable livelihoods and reducing poverty.
Three ventures changing the climate innovation game
Our portfolio of supported enterprises demonstrates how climate innovation can be both environmentally transformative and economically viable:
AirX Carbon
Solution: NetZero pallets from agricultural waste
Innovation: AirX Carbon replaces traditional wooden and plastic pallets with carbon-negative alternatives created from agricultural waste (coffee and rice husks), cutting costs and emissions for domestic and export use while providing a scalable solution for global supply chains.
AVALVE
Solution: AI-powered hydroponics for farmers
Innovation: AVALVE’s system eliminates the need for chemical fertiliser, reduces water usage by up to 90% and increases crop yields by up to 300%, supporting climate-smart agriculture and improving food security for large-scale and smallholder farmers.
ReFeed
Solution: Circular economy for used cooking oil
Innovation: ReFeed turns used cooking oil into feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel via a tech platform connecting households and communities. This circular approach provides an eco-friendly solution to waste management, mitigating negative impacts on the environment while addressing energy needs.
Catalytic capital unlocks long-term systems change
Partnering with P4G enables Action on Poverty to do what it does best: act as a catalyst for change.
