Nevertheless, recent changes have let down women running businesses.

Funding Details

Despite approving $35.2 million for successful applicants, the BFF program was at the receiving end of internal criticism. After the 2024-2025 federal budget, there was a low-profile announcement from the Department of Industry, Science, and Resources (DISR) that Round 2 and Round 3 grantees would receive no further funding for new rounds. This decision takes roughly $17 million from the grant program and dumps woman-owned startups.

Unfulfilled Mission of BFF

The BFF program was designed to make things more equal and fair for Australian women in the startup sphere. Given that only a small percentage of venture capital is directed to women-led businesses, the BFF grants were important.

Aside from money, successful applicants were also offered business advice and guidance on topics such as money management, patents and trademarks, promotion and advertising strategies, and where to seek capital for their inventions. These services were provided to more than 900 applicants, but now, the end of the program has become a considerable problem for women entrepreneurs.

Boosting Female Founders Initiative

The Boosting Female Founders Initiative is designed to help women-run startups receive the grants they need to expand their businesses into domestic and international markets. This program also promotes job creation for women-led innovative companies in the private sector, aiming to be sustainable.

Women entrepreneurs are awarded grants ranging from $100,000 – $400,000, with up to $480,000 for priority groups to scale their businesses locally and internationally. Some of these candidates are also given the privilege of being mentored by some of the most qualified professionals, thus increasing their success rate. The Boosting Female Founders Initiative means financial assistance to women-led startups, guidance from specialists, and access to new markets.

Success Stories from Boosting Female Founders

Circular Wardrobe from AirRobe Pty Ltd solves the problem of textile waste as, together with fashion brands, the company captures product data at the moment of purchase. Consumers can then wear the used fashion items before returning them for reuse, which creates a cycle.

Amelio Health Pty Ltd, a startup company, is now developing its digital behavioral medicine pain management practice, and while it targets local patients, it plans to go international.

Arete Labs & Technical Solutions Pty Ltd serves as a contract formulation company of personal care and cosmeceutical products. One is they are developing a small test vial formulation to minimize wastage and expense while increasing production.

Atech Services Pty Ltd, where project Rocketlaunch involves delivering leadership capability to increase market portfolio in domestic and international settings to enhance global business. These female entrepreneurs are the epitome of innovation, flexibility, and hard work in any business.

Conclusion

The cancellation of the BFF grants, though it was started well, remains evidence of the continuing fight for gender equality in business. Female founders deserve better, and this program’s end is quite single-minded and insulting to their dreams and efforts. The Boosting Female Founders Initiative focuses on helping female founders by providing them with funds and professional assistance.

SIDBI project gets $215.6 Million funding from Green Climate Fund https://www.scoopearth.com/sidbi-project-gets-215-6-million-funding-from-green-climate-fund/ Tue, 23 Jul 2024 11:13:29 +0000 https://www.scoopearth.com/?p=343351 The Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) has raised $215.6 million from the Green Climate Fund (GCF). Financing for Mitigation and Adaptation in Projects (FMAP) will enable funding to promote low-emission and climate change resilience technologies for Indian MSMEs.

Green Financing Landscape

The $215.6 million funding from GCF is a significant achievement for SIDBI and the green financing processes in India. The funding package consists of $200 million available for the concessional loan and another $15.6 million for grant support this year alone.

The grant shall cover various activities aimed at enhancing the capacity of several key stakeholders, such as the MSMEs and the PFIs that will participate in the projects on low emissions and climate resilience technologies.

Image Source: SIDBI

Objectives of the FMAP Program

The FMAP program is going to focus on different measures to deal with climate change, both mitigation and adaptation. Through the provision of subsidized loans, the program seeks to motivate MSMEs to adopt and acquire innovative technologies that will decrease emissions of greenhouse gases and increase resilience to climate change.

It is estimated that the program will reduce the overall GHG emissions by one-third, or about 35.5 million tonnes, and significantly conserve water for more than 10.8 million people.

Strategic Importance of the Funding

MSMEs are very central to the Indian economy because they contribute a lot to employment and gross domestic product. However, they have a limited capital base to allow them to acquire sophisticated technological tools. The concessional loans given under the FMAP program will allow these enterprises to make such changes sustainable without worrying about high costs.

This program will ensure that vulnerable populations are empowered with tools that will foster water conservation, and assist in combating the effects of climate change. This is even more crucial in areas that are susceptible to natural disasters such as hurricanes or flooding.

Thus, the mentioned FMAP program is also aligned with India’s net-zero targets as a part of the nation’s sustainable development strategy. Low-emitting technologies are going to help improve the quality of the environment in such countries.

Role of the Green Climate Fund

The Green Climate Fund, signed under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is also the biggest dedicated climate fund in the world.

It was created to help developing nations in the fight against climate change by offering them funds for carrying out mitigation and adaptation activities. SIDBI is one of the beneficiaries of the GCF aims at addressing sustainable development challenges and lowering GHG emissions in the world.

Future Prospects

SIDBI has already sanctioned its first project under the FMAP facility for $24.5 million to the Avaana Sustainability Fund. This investment will serve to encourage the development of new startups by providing funding for innovative solutions in the area of sustainability. SIDBI aims to mobilize $1 billion for green financing through GCF funding and green financing from its balance sheet and other sources from the market.

This corpus will be instrumental in funding various projects in the renewable energy sector, such as energy efficiency, energy storage, and e-mobility projects.

Conclusion

The $215.6 million SIDBI and green financing in India will benefit from the Green Climate Fund. Given that the FMAP program will help enhance the capacity of MSMEs in the implementation of low-emission and climate-resilient solutions, it will be instrumental in supporting India to achieve net zero.

It also underlines the need for green financing and the significance of international cooperation in response to climate issues.

This comes after 600,000 square feet of space was leased in June in three cities due to increasing demand for flexible working space.

The coworking space industry has been on the rise as more companies embrace a flexible workplace model. Due to the COVID-19 impact, there is an increasing need to work remotely and in the hybrid model, thus increasing the need for coworking spaces. Incuspaze has placed itself in a strategic place to benefit from this trend of flexible workspace solutions that meet the different needs of the business.

India Inflection Opportunity Fund’s Role

India Inflection offers late VC rounds and targets companies undergoing pre-IPO stages with proper plans for going public. The investment IIOF made in Incuspaze is in line with its general policy of providing funding to young and growing enterprises across sectors.

The business locations of Incuspaze include some of the major business centers of India; it has its workspaces in strategic locations that are convenient and well-connected.

They promote an active community of experts and business starters and actively encourage them to connect, cooperate, and learn from each other via events and projects. With a clear profitability matrix and emphasis on the enterprises, Incuspaze has one-size-fits solutions with additional features for enterprise clients such as scalability and customized services.

Future Prospects

With this additional capital, Incuspaze seeks to deepen its market penetration and improve the services it provides to its customers. The company’s vision is to use technology as a tool to ensure that workspace solutions are optimal, easy, and smooth. This entails incorporating modern facilities and services that the clients require from upscale hotels.

Conclusion

The funding round of $8 million for Incuspaze is indicative of the fact that the core business model adopted by the company enjoys the confidence of investors. Thus, it appears that Incuspaze is well prepared to capitalize on this trend and further grow the coworking space market in the future.

The co-founder and CEO of Beeble AI, Hoon Kim, mentioned that the primary aim of the startup is to work on virtual lightning but the firm is expanding its range towards developing comprehensive virtual studios. The startup aims to create an application that can compete with major Hollywood studios in the future. Beeble AI claims that its AI model reduces budget constraints and allows its users to create Hollywood-worthy shots while sitting in their room using an iPhone.

To tackle this, the startup is developing virtual studios. The CEO of the startup told TechCrunch in an interview that Beeble’s virtual production platforms virtualize real actors into a virtual world.

This will enable the filmmakers to access various locations, real-time effects, and lighting and use various features with only a phone that will allow film production at an affordable budget. The development came just when the virtual production sector gained investors’ interest.

From advancement in AI to the growing popularity of remote work, the future of start-ups is shaping up to be a fascinating place. 

Description – Criteria of a successful start-up idea in 2024

Technology is constantly evolving and creating new opportunities for businesses and investors. However, not all start-ups and opportunities are equally promising or profitable. Some may be too risky, too expensive, or too much to generate a good return on investment. The start-up world is a wild ride, and it is easy to get lost in the shuffle. But if you want to blast off like a space rocket, you need to know the latest trends. We need to have key information about the latest industry news and market changes for new start-ups and entrepreneurs. There is some insight on what we can expect in the start-up industry in the upcoming year of 2024. We will explore the trending topics in the start-up world. 

The best start-ups to make money in 2024

The start-up ecosystem continues to evolve at a rapid pace as new technologies emerge and societal priorities shift. Understanding the key trends for the coming year allows entrepreneurs and investors to future-proof their strategies and capitalize on emerging opportunities. The use of mobile apps, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and other technologies can help start-ups create highly personalized experiences for their customers. Start-ups are increasingly focusing on developing sustainable products and services. I expect to see this trend continue in 2024, with more start-ups focusing on sustainability. 

GENERATIVE AI: 

Generative AI is like a magic wand for start-ups. Artificial intelligence has gone through many cycles of hype. The release of chat-GPT seems to mark a turning point. It can write poems, tell jokes, and churn out essays that look like a human created them. Prompt chat-GPT with a few words and outcomes love poems in the form of Yelp reviews or song lyrics in the style of Nick Cave five years later; it’s the leap forward in natural language processing and the ability of large language processing, and the ability of large language models to riff on just about any theme, that has seized the popular imagination. AI developers are increasingly using supervised learning to shape our interactions with generative models and their powerful embedded representations.

Generative AI and large language models have been progressing at a very fast pace, with new models and innovative ways almost daily. 

FINTECH: 

Fin-tech start-ups are very important factors in the financial industry. They are exploring various methods to make payments, invest money, and lend money.

Fin-tech now includes different sectors and industries, such as education, retail banking, fundraising, and non-profit and investment management, Fin-tech also includes the development and use of crypto-currencies, such as Bit-coin. Fin-tech is also a keen adapter of automated customer service technology, utilizing chat-bots and AI interfaces to assist customers with basic tasks and keep down staffing costs.

 Fin-tech is also being leveraged to fight fraud by leveraging information about payment history to flag transactions that are outside the norm. 

 There are four broad categories of users for fin-tech:

  1. Business–to–business (B2B) for banks. 
  2. Business-to-consumer (B2C) for small businesses.
  3. Consumers. 
  4. Client of B2B banks. 

Fin-techs make money in different ways depending on their specialties. They generate revenue from fees, loan interest, and selling financial products. 

Health-tech: 

The world is growing older day by day, and technology helps every person lead a comfortable and safe life. Health-tech start-ups are more beneficial, more accessible, and affordable for everyone. They have developed new technologies to improve the way we diagnose, treat, and monitor diseases. Health tech uses knowledge and skill in the digital form of medicines, procedures, and vaccines and improves quality of life. It helps in:

. Reducing healthcare/medical costs.

. Predict Epidemics. 

. Avoid preventable deaths. 

. Improve the quality of life. 

. Reduce healthcare waste. 

. Improve care efficiency and quality.

. Produce new drugs and treatment procedures.

Over the past few years, health tech has grown tenfold and has been adopted largely by every medical firm. Treatments are conducted through a combination of health monitoring technologies, including telemedicine, at-home diagnoses, and even pop-up retail settings. Health-tech developers have begun to identify the specific benefits of remotely treating patients. Doctors and nurses employ portable devices, such as tablets or computers, to document a patient’s medical history and deliver the right treatment; besides this, patients may use apps to detect the correlation between their condition and medication interaction to make decisions on how to improve their health.

Doctors can measure and track patient data for an extended period with the help of HER(Electronic health record). Health tech improves healthcare delivery quality, increases patient safety, reduces medical errors, and improves healthcare providers’ and patients’ interaction.

Web3: Web3 is the next generation of the internet, and it is based on blockchain technology. Web3 is exploring new methods to use block-chain to decentralize the internet and create new economic opportunities in the term. 

Web3.0 leverages AI, Machine Learning, and Block-chain 

technology. It is expected to achieve real-world communication. Individuals will own the data, and they will be compensated for the time spent on the internet. This sounds futuristic, and the data and privacy of the users will increase with blockchain technology. Intelligent systems, semantic web, decentralization, meta-verse, digital assets, and other emerging technologies will be part of Web 3.0.

Improved customer experience and cost saving through AI: If businesses want to attract and retain customers, then they have to work harder and smarter. 70% of organizations surveyed say customer service is directly connected to the performance of their business, and 63% of them are prioritizing the customer experience. We will use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve customer service solutions. AI solutions have the potential to drastically increase the efficiency of customer service operations, reduce spending, and boost overall customer satisfaction.

Space-tech:  

Space-tech start-ups are going to be the pioneers of the future. They are exploring many new technologies to explore space and to make it more accessible to humanity. Sky-root, which became the first start-up to explore the successfully launch a rocket into space in November 2022, and Pixel, the first Indian private start-up to deploy its satellite, Shakuntala, into a low earth orbit.

Public-private partnerships are driving growth in the space sector. Initiatives like the privatization of vehicles and collaborations with companies are expanding opportunities. Government policies, such as the exception to GST, have further incentivized private space enterprises. Many podcasts have delved into the potential benefits of the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for the space sector, Encouraging foreign companies to set up operations in India and enhancing the country’s capabilities in critical areas like satellite technology.
