What can Financiers do for Finvest:
Financiers are essential to unlocking the scale-up of SAF. ICAO Finvest Hub invites financial institutions, investors, and development banks to go beyond traditional lending and design innovative financial solutions, such as blended finance structures, green bonds, and sustainability-linked loans, that lower entry barriers for SAF projects. Financiers can develop and deploy risk-mitigation instruments such as guarantees and insurance products to currency hedging that address key project uncertainties. Concepts to reduce offtake risk such as structuring forward-purchase agreements or supporting creditworthy offtakers are needed too.
By participating in ICAO FINVEST Hub, financiers can play a critical role in bridging the capital gap, advancing aviation’s energy transition, and driving economic opportunities, particularly in developing and emerging markets.
