Today, there are many accelerator programs to equip IEs with technical assistance, but they lack sustainability and success with capital raise. There are three unique elements to ACTS:

• First, it provides technical assistance and investment readiness services to IEs so they are ready to raise capital
• Second, ACTS uses a revolving credit facility which maximizes the use of a grant because repayment from participating IEs are channeled to benefit more IEs
• Third, ACTS leverages on a unique blended finance model, which combines grant funding from the public sector with upfront fees from IEs and interest free loans for services to spur private investment.

Why AIMS?

Impact Enterprises (IEs) bring innovative solutions to some of our toughest social and environmental problems, and have the potential to expand and benefit vulnerable communities across Asia. However, IEs face several challenges – from business support to market access – in growing their business and impact.

The Solution

AIMS bridges the IEs’ key growth gaps and drives impact by tapping on corporate partners’ expertise, know-how, and networks to solve their most pressing problems. At the same time, corporate employees are challenged to apply their skills and business/sector expertise in a different context, drive learning and innovative thinking, while aligning with the Corporate Partner’s CSR agenda.

The Program

IIX works with Corporate Partners to identify social issues that align to their strategic priorities, and to match employee skill sets to the needs of selected IEs. Corporate Partners and IEs receive a pre-training program, leading up to a one-day curated workshop that facilitates solution-oriented engagement. Post-workshop measurement, reporting and marketing materials are provided to the Corporate Partner, with the opportunity to integrate sustainable development products into the Partners’ supply chain.
