USAID is passionate about embracing a new model of development that taps into the expertise, resources, and innovations of a diverse array of organizations across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors that can bring groundbreaking solutions.

SURE Innovation Fund

Open innovation and competition are key to solving big problems. USAID seeks collaborators to help us identify current and emerging problems to scale up renewable energy. We invite donors and companies to co-invest with us on promising solutions, pilot projects, business models, and initiatives.

USAID’s Scaling Up Renewable Energy (SURE) Innovation Fund creates opportunities to forge new partnerships with local, U.S., and international partners, leverages private and public resources, and taps into innovative solutions that accelerate partner countries’ transition to a clean energy economy. SURE identifies alignment opportunities with the private sector and jointly explores and advances high-impact private sector-led approaches. By harnessing the power of innovation and partnership, we can accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy while making electricity more affordable, reliable, accessible, and sustainable.
