Tencent’s CarbonX Program 2.0 Identifies 50 Global Finalists

Tencent announced the top 50 finalists for its CarbonX Program 2.0, selected from over 660 applicants across 54 countries and regions.

These innovators, from 12 countries and regions, are competing for a share of RMB200 million (approximately US$28 million) in catalytic funding, as well as technical resources, expert mentorship, and pilot opportunities in climate vulnerable regions.

Bridging the “Valley of Death” in Climate Innovation

The path from breakthrough discovery to real-world impact is often blocked by the ‘Valley of Death’ – the critical gap between early-stage innovation and large-scale deployment.

Many climate technologies fail to progress due to limited funding, partnerships, and testing environments.

The CarbonX Program was created to close this gap, providing winners with the necessary resources to scale their climate solutions.

By supporting these innovators, the program aims to drive real-world impact in climate vulnerable regions such as Kenya, the Maldives, and Serbia.
