Energy drives economic growth and development. Transforming energy systems away from fossil fuels is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Many low- and middle-income countries face barriers to adopting and scaling the clean energy technologies needed to meet rapidly growing demand for affordable, reliable electricity in a sustainable way.
Clean energy is more than a climate solution—it’s an engine of growth for emerging markets. Scaling innovation requires affordable technologies, people-centered approaches that engage communities, and ecosystems that align policy, workforce skills, and infrastructure. From microgrids and distributed storage to circular battery solutions and value addition around critical minerals, emerging markets are proving grounds where new models can scale faster and deliver wider local impact.
At WDI, we help clean energy innovators bring effective, sustainable, and scalable technologies to market by shaping commercialization pathways and business models. Because lasting progress requires strong ecosystems, we partner across government, industry, and academia to strengthen policies, skills, and infrastructure for rapid collective action.
We provide decision-makers and entrepreneurs with practical insights on clean energy trends, business models, and enabling conditions.
We help energy enterprises plan for scale and design commercialization pathways that connect research, investment, and markets.
We work with partners to expand local supply chains, strengthen competitiveness, and ensure clean energy transitions create jobs, build resilience, and deliver lasting prosperity.
