ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

https://www.get-invest.eu/https://www.global-energy-transformation.eu/ GET.invest (https://www.get-invest.eu/) is a European programme that mobilises investment in clean energy projects and businesses in developing countries. Implemented by GIZ on behalf of the European Union, Germany, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and Austria, the programme forms part of the broader GET.pro platform (https://www.global-energy-transformation.eu/), which combines complementary services to strengthen enabling environments, accelerate project development and mobilise private investment in clean energy.
