100×100募資擴氣候版圖

新加坡氣候科技創投孵化平台（Venture Builder）100×100宣布成立規模1億美元的第二期基金（Fund II），計畫於未來數年在印度與東南亞共同創建並擴展50家氣候科技企業，聚焦能源、交通、農業、工業減碳、建築與供應鏈等高碳排產業，藉此推動亞洲新興市場的低碳轉型與永續經濟發展。

Singapore-based climate venture builder 100×100 has launched its second fund, raising $100 million to create and scale 50 climate technology companies across India and Southeast Asia, reinforcing the region’s growing importance in the global energy transition and low-carbon economy.

100×100前身為Wavemaker Impact，該公司採取不同於傳統創投的「創業孵化（Venture Building）」模式，並非單純投資既有新創企業，而是從問題定義階段開始，與具備產業經驗的創業者共同辨識市場需求、設計商業模式、開發技術解決方案，進而成立新公司。根據其模式，團隊通常可在六個月內完成公司創建，並提供50萬美元種子資金，後續再依產品市場契合度（Product-Market Fit）追加50萬至100萬美元投資，並協助導入A輪融資。

Formerly known as Wavemaker Impact, 100×100 operates a venture-building model that differs from traditional venture capital. Instead of solely investing in existing startups, the firm collaborates with experienced entrepreneurs and industry operators from the earliest stages to identify emissions-related challenges, develop commercial solutions, and launch new businesses.

100×100創辦合夥人Marie Cheong表示，全球最迫切的減碳挑戰同時也是龐大的經濟機會，公司相信獲利與減碳並非互相衝突，而是能夠相互放大的成長引擎。她指出，氣候科技若要真正實現大規模商業化，必須具備比傳統化石燃料方案更低的成本與更好的效能，而非依賴消費者支付額外的「綠色溢價（Green Premium）」。

Under this model, companies are typically established within six months, receiving an initial investment of $500,000. Additional funding of up to $1 million may follow once the company achieves product-market fit, alongside support in securing Series A financing from external investors.

According to Founding Partner Marie Cheong, the firm views climate action as both an environmental necessity and a significant economic opportunity. She emphasized that climate technologies must outperform fossil-fuel-based alternatives on both cost and performance, rather than relying on consumers or businesses to pay a “green premium.”

基金第二期將重點投入難以減排但成長快速的產業，包括再生能源、電動運輸、農業食品系統、工業脫碳、永續材料及土地利用管理等領域。這些產業不僅是亞洲經濟成長的重要支柱，也是未來全球淨零排放目標中最關鍵的減碳戰場。

Fund II will target sectors with substantial emissions reduction potential, including renewable energy, transportation, agriculture, food systems, industrial decarbonization, sustainable materials, land use, buildings, and supply-chain optimization. These sectors are increasingly critical as India and Southeast Asia continue to experience rapid industrialization, urbanization, and energy demand growth.

截至目前為止，100×100已在印度、東南亞及澳洲共同創建27家氣候科技公司，涵蓋再生能源、綠色材料、資源效率、低碳農業及工業減碳技術等領域，累計吸引超過2,800萬美元外部資金投入，且多數企業在成立六個月內便開始產生營收。

To date, 100×100 has co-created 27 climate-focused companies across Southeast Asia, India, and Australia. The portfolio spans renewable energy, resource efficiency, sustainable agriculture, green materials, and industrial decarbonization technologies. Collectively, these companies have raised more than $28 million from external investors, with most generating revenue within six months of launch.

根據規劃，新基金將進一步催生50家新創企業，每家公司目標實現最高1億噸二氧化碳當量（CO₂e）減排潛力，並創造超過1億美元年營收。這也是公司更名為「100×100」的原因，象徵每家企業同時追求減碳1億噸與創造1億美元營收的雙重目標。

Through the new fund, 100×100 aims to create 50 additional companies, each targeting up to 100 million tonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions reductions while generating more than $100 million in annual revenue. The firm’s name reflects this ambition, linking climate impact directly to commercial scale.

分析指出，印度與東南亞已成為全球製造業、基礎建設、糧食供應鏈與能源需求成長最快速的區域之一。在各國政府強化氣候政策、企業面臨供應鏈減碳壓力，以及國際資本尋求新興市場氣候投資機會的背景下，兼具商業競爭力與減碳效益的氣候科技企業正受到市場高度關注。

Industry observers note that the launch comes as climate investment strategies increasingly prioritize commercially viable solutions capable of reducing emissions while improving operational efficiency and competitiveness. As governments across Asia tighten climate regulations and businesses face growing pressure to decarbonize supply chains, venture-building platforms such as 100×100 could play a pivotal role in accelerating the commercialization of climate technologies.

業界認為，100×100的新基金反映出全球氣候投資模式正在轉變，市場焦點逐漸從依賴補貼與碳抵換機制，轉向能夠透過成本優勢、技術創新及供應鏈效率創造實際商業價值的低碳解決方案。若該模式能成功擴大規模，將有助於推動亞洲成為全球氣候科技創新的重要成長引擎。

If successful, the fund could help establish a new generation of climate-focused businesses in emerging Asian markets, demonstrating that decarbonization can be driven by profitability, innovation, and economic growth rather than compliance alone.
