The Evolving Landscape of Innovative Financing Instruments for New Technologies
Asia-Pacific Tech Monitor. 2026. Vol. 43. No. 2. P. 13–24.
Innovative financing tools and models have proved their efficiency in supporting the adoption and scale-up of emerging technologies. They have been instrumental in different regions, including the Asia-Pacific region, which stands at the forefront of technological innovation. Studies point to several persistent emerging technological constraints that include high upfront capital costs, perceived risks, and limited access to finance, all of which disproportionately hinder small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), start-ups, women-led enterprises, and grassroots innovators from translating promising technologies into tangible solutions. This article examines the evolving landscape of innovative financing instruments that can mobilise both public and private capital for emerging technologies across the region to overcome these barriers.
Drawing on recent developments and regional case studies, the analysis explores a diverse portfolio of financing mechanisms, like GSS+ (Green, Social, Sustainability and Sustainability-linked) bonds, Islamic finance, blended finance structures, public-private partnerships (PPPs), climate and innovation funds, venture capital, results-based financing, and carbon market instruments. By synthesising emerging best practices from across the Asia-Pacific, this article offers actionable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, development partners, and technology innovators seeking to bridge the financing gap and accelerate the region's transition toward a sustainable, technology-driven future.

This paper examines the nonlinear relationship between inflation and economic growth across Russian regions, contributing to the literature on the inflation-growth nexus by using subnational evidence from a large and economically heterogeneous country. Using panel data for 83 regions over the period 2015–2023, we estimate fixed-effects models with a quadratic specification of inflation. The growth-maximizing ...

This article maps the contours of the global energy order that may emerge by 2040. It argues that global energy flows are being transformed from a price-driven commodity trade into instruments of strategic power by four simultaneous processes: an uneven low-carbon transition, the securitization of energy flows, the fragmentation of the international monetary system, and ...

We derive bounds on the gradient and Hessian of the log-CDF, ln F(x), of the multivariate normal distribution. These bounds scale linearly and quadratically in ‖x‖ , respectively, with constants depending only on the covariance matrix. We demonstrate the usefulness of these bounds by proving asymptotic normality of the maximum-likelihood estimator of the multivariate probit ...
