Draft Mandate and Role of the Finance Research Cluster (FRC) - BALTA Partnership Development Project on Scaling Innovation for Sustainability (SIS)

Abstract

The goal of the Scaling Innovation for Sustainability Project is to focus expertise on developing a theoretical and methodological framework for studying the scaling up and scaling out of innovations that re-localize the economy and strengthen the resilience and sustainability of communities and regions. The Finance Research Cluster will be focusing specifically on examining what are the most important components of finance to scaling (out and up) innovations that have proven themselves in one or more contexts and that could have significant impact on sustainability through scaling. This document provides initial guidance for the work of the Finance Research Cluster.
