What are Acceleration Projects?

A WIPO GREEN activity that addresses local climate change, food security, and environmental challenges by identifying pressing needs and facilitating connections with innovative green technology solutions. Each project has a specific thematic and regional focus. The projects adopt a focused approach where specific entities looking for green solutions are matched with potential solution providers. Learn more about Phase I and II of the ongoing project.

The Acceleration Project in Latin America focuses on agricultural activities impacted by climate change or other environmental challenges in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Peru. Thematic focus varies according to the country as follows:

Argentina: Precision agriculture for viticulture, horticulture, fruticulture, and forestry.

Brazil: Alternative/renewable energies for agriculture, sustainable mechanization, and integrated pest management.

Chile: Fruit production sector, which is a major exporter and which experiences numerous climate change impacts.

Peru: Berry and coffee production for export markets.

What is a “Matchmaking Consultant”?

The consultants will identify entities seeking green solutions and work with them to identify potential technologies that could meet their needs.

There are four tenders available, one for each country taking part in the LAC Acceleration Project. It is a requirement that the consultant company has a local presence, network, and experience.
