Transportation is essential for moving people and goods and enables economic growth. But as one of the top contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, it also stands at the crossroads of some of today’s most pressing challenges: climate change and energy security. Rapid urbanization and rising populations in low- and middle-income countries increase demand for transportation, exacerbating these challenges.
Electric mobility is more than just a technological change—it’s a key lever in the global shift toward clean energy. E-mobility adoption continues to increase in low- and middle-income countries, with promising innovations spearheaded by frontier market innovators. Producing EVs also brings many opportunities for countries and companies in these markets seeking to engage along the value chain, whether tapping critical minerals resources or leveraging existing manufacturing capacity. However, many challenges remain for these solutions to reach scale and for local ecosystems to enable and accelerate this transition in more effective and inclusive ways.
At WDI, we’re shaping the future of e-mobility by generating actionable insights, accelerating innovative solutions for companies at every stage, and building dynamic networks and ecosystems that power vibrant, resilient local economies.
We generate valuable and actionable insights for e-mobility entrepreneurs and decision makers across industry, government, and academia.
We help innovative businesses along the EV value chain grow, and partner with incubators to maximize and accelerate impact.
We co-create sustainable, innovative, ecosystem-wide partnerships to ensure that e-mobility growth benefits communities, creates jobs, and drives lasting economic opportunity.
