GET.invest (https://www.get-invest.eu/) is a leading programme that mobilises investments in private sector clean energy projects in developing countries. It is part of the European multi-donor platform GET.pro, and has a focus on Sub-Sahara Africa, as well as activities in the Caribbean and the Pacific. The programme supports all relevant clean energy technologies and business models, assisting project developers and companies towards “bankability” and linking them with financiers. GET.invest also stimulates new partnerships and ventures by providing information about market opportunities, through (online) events, and by cooperating with industry associations. The programme is implemented by an international and dynamic team, and in cooperation with a broad range of partners. We value team spirit, creativity, agility, gender balance as well as cooperation and co-creation in a flat hierarchy.
