FLAGSHIPS
Gender inequality continues to persist, hindering the progress towards sustainable development.
Did you know that women-owned small businesses face a staggering $300 billion gap in financing? And in some regions, all-male enterprises receive 98% of funds raised by tech companies.
But what if we could bridge the gap? What if there was a way to empower women by improving access to capital?
Meet Ella Impacta, a Funding Facility designed to strengthen women through access to capital.
Ella Impacta aims to change that scenario. It's a highly effective and stable global funding facility, committed to driving capital towards women. Through strategic investments, credit opportunities, and direct support programs, EllaImpacta empowers women to study, work, start and operate businesses, acquire housing, and build wealth.

'BlendLab Housing Project' was submitted to the international call for projects to integrate the pipeline of the CIF - Cities Investment Facility, of the ONU-Habitat/UNCDF (United Nations Capital Development Fund). The project was one of those selected among dozens of competitors from all over the world. BlendLab Housing Project was also one of the selected projects by BNDES (Brazilian Development Bank) in its first Public Tender for Blended Finance Solutions.
The BlendLab Housing Project was presented at World Urban Forum 11, held in Katowice-Poland in June 2022, as a solution case for private financing of sustainable urbanization.
The Finance for Just and Green Energy Transition (FJGET) is a global initiative designed to mobilize large-scale capital for the decarbonization of industrial sectors while ensuring an inclusive and equitable transition. By integrating climate finance, policy advocacy, and investment strategies, FJGET creates enabling conditions to accelerate the shift toward a low-carbon economy, particularly in developing regions.
The initiative is structured around three key components:
1. Technical and Conceptual Frameworks – Developing investment taxonomies, accreditation frameworks, and guidelines for just and green energy transition projects.
2. Investment Environment (LAB) – A structured space for institutional investors, multilateral banks, and concessional finance providers to assess investment opportunities, propose enabling factors, and structure co-investment agreements.
3. Local Implementation Tracks – Regional committees responsible for identifying, consolidating, and advancing high-impact investment pipelines aligned with FJGET’s objectives.
FJGET is co-founded and coordinated by BlendGroup, which plays a central role in designing financial solutions, engaging key stakeholders, and managing the initiative’s implementation. In partnership with institutions such as IE University, UNCDF, CAF, and leading development banks, BlendGroup ensures that FJGET remains aligned with global climate finance agendas and operates under the highest standards of governance, transparency, and impact-driven investment.
