Finance for Transition (F4T) is a think-and-do tank for economic and financial transformation. F4T analyzes which sectors lack investment for the transition and which structural barriers hinder the mobilization of private capital on the side of both companies and investors. In the pre-competitive space, F4T develops practical solutions and new cooperation models to ensure that the supply of and demand for capital effectively come together.
The institutional design of our projects always takes our objectives into consideration. We aim with our partner organisations to achieve the greatest possible systemic impact. We want to build up new institutional expertise.
Partner organisations are characterized by their strong focus on content and their ability to work independently and flexibly. At the same time, they are able to draw on the experience of Stiftung Mercator and, possibly, of other partners. In this respect we also rely on collaborations, recruiting additional partners wherever possible to establish and support projects.

The Agora Verkehrswende initiative will set in motion the necessary discourse in society.
