Funders & Partners
Theia Finance Labs (formerly 2° Degrees Investing Initiative Germany) is co-funded by the European Union under the project name CB-PASTAX (Climate Banking - Paris Agreement Strategy & Taxonomy Assessment). Additionally, the work is partly funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation through The Finance Hub, which was created to advance sustainable finance and the European Climate Foundation. Furthermore, tilt is also supported by the junior research group PECan, based at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
From November 2023 we were part of PHINEO start-ups. PHINEO supports impact startups in tackling the world’s most pressing crises through their incubator and accelerator program PHINEO Startups. In May 2024, we had the chance to present our work at @Phineo Startup’s Collective Impact Summit.
We are also happy to announce our strategic partnership with Deloitte (see press release here). Deloitte will support tilt to accelerate a robust IT infrastructure, review the data and methodology and support by way of their extensive experience in working with banks. The partnership has allowed tilt to double its resources in terms of scaling the deployment, quality, and reach of the dataset and reach its 2024 goal of 1+ million companies covered and expand the data development beyond Europe. Furthermore, Theia and Deloitte plan to develop a platform to drive the transition and increase resilience towards societal challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. We intend for the platform to provide a collaborative space between financial institutions, their clients and market participants to build and share data, reduce the transaction costs of sustainable data procurement and processing, and build capacity. The platform should gather external data sources (like tilt), but also offers an interface to collect data directly from SMEs.
