Public financing of green innovation: Matchmaking of offers and demand for financing
Session 2 of the FSR Global Energy Innovation Week – 28 October 2020
Relevant recent literature states that direct and pervasive public financing has been instrumental in the development of innovative technological trajectories. The reasoning builds on: (i) the presence of finance from public sources across the entire innovation chain; (ii) the concept of ‘mission-oriented’ policies that have created new technological and industrial landscapes; and (iii) the entrepreneurial and lead investor role of public actors, willing and able to take on extreme risks, independent of the business cycle.
On the other hand, public financing depends largely on the availability of funds. The available capital (human or otherwise) for different jurisdictions is different, which may motivate a case for heterogeneity of policies regarding innovation funding.
Moreover, the question becomes more complicated when the connection between public and private is not straightforward. The gap between infrastructure needs and available finance may be relevant and public policies may help in bridging that gap.
In Session 2, we intend to address, among other topics:
– Discuss the role of public finance in the development of green infrastructure
– The role of project structuring in de-risking of green infrastructure
– What level of risk is acceptable/desirable for public institutions?
