Green Innovation Fellowship (GIF)

Green Innovation Fellowship (GIF) is a strategic platform for green transition under the International Innovation Alliance InnoEx, designed to foster collaboration, development, and scaling of sustainable innovations, technologies, and solutions through three core pillars – GI Summit, GI Accelerator, and GI Zone; while also connecting and activating green finance to support businesses in accelerating a faster and more sustainable dual transition.

Collaboration

Innovation

PDriving the development and deployment of sustainable innovations and technologies.

Scaling

Accelerating the piloting and scaling of green solutions toward market expansion.

Green Finance

Mobilizing and unlocking green capital to accelerate the transition at scale.

"Green development is no longer an option, but a necessity."

“The perspective on green transition has evolved significantly in today’s context. What was once voluntary must now become a mandatory requirement. Instead of isolated efforts, we need to build alliances. Rather than being viewed merely as a social responsibility, going green must be embedded into core development strategies. And instead of standalone success stories, these must be transformed into practical solutions that can be widely implemented.”

— Mr. DINH HONG KY
Chairman, Secoin; President, HGBA
