MEF
For Founders & Innovators

From PilotTo Scale

Your climate solution deserves an ecosystem.

Run pilots with partners, work with mentors who have built and backed companies, present at demo days, and meet the investors backing climate solutions across Asia-Pacific.

Building a climate company is not a solo act. MEF sits inside the GoMassive ecosystem — accelerators, an angel investment network, researchers, and corporate partners — where 1,000+ climate startups have been evaluated and 180+ founders taken through structured bootcamps.
