They form the inaugural cohort of the UK-funded CFA in Malaysia, a global technical assistance programme helping low-carbon businesses access investment for their projects. The shortlisted businesses stood out for their strong track record in technical and commercial fundamentals, and potential to deliver meaningful climate impact in support of the country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
The cohort spans sectors such as energy, waste and circular economy, buildings and construction, industry and manufacturing, transport, and agriculture.
His Excellency Ajay Sharma CMG, British High Commissioner to Malaysia, said
The Climate Finance Accelerator is a great example of the UK-Malaysia partnership delivering real climate and economic impact. The programme strengthens the capabilities of businesses aligned with Malaysia’s national climate plans to become investment-ready and globally competitive. This inaugural cohort represents the future of Malaysia’s low-carbon economy as they lead climate transition with innovative, scalable solutions.
Kay-Li Kim, Deals Partner, Capital Projects and Infrastructure Leader, PwC Malaysia, said
The diversity of our inaugural CFA cohort represents the promising pipeline of climate opportunities supporting Malaysia’s journey to net zero. It’s heartening to see our country’s low-carbon ecosystem evolving to support new solutions in line with the global shift towards scalable and impact-driven investments. The CFA helps bring greater visibility and credibility to these businesses as they continue to develop and connect with potential sources of capital.
Through the programme, participating businesses will receive tailored support designed to enhance their investment readiness and improve access to finance. Delivered through a mix of structured capacity building workshops and targeted advisory support, the CFA brings together experts across financial, technical, and gender equality, disability and social inclusion dimensions to help businesses strengthen their propositions and better engage potential investors.
The programme will run until November 2026, culminating in an investor engagement event that enables project developers to strengthen their visibility and pitch to climate investors.
CFA Malaysia is implemented by PwC Malaysia.
