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.

The article analyzes the phenomenon of destructive transformation of democratic governance into neo-authoritarianism in the context of post-industrial civilizational transition, a process that levels the rigid, hierarchically centralized structure of interaction between actors in the global political arena. This transformation is a political process that goes through two consecutive stages: authoritarian diffusion and authoritarian rollback.

Digital multi-sided platforms intermediate a growing share of household expenditure, yet direct cross-country measurement of platformization remains infeasible owing to the absence of publicly available data. This paper treats platformization — defined as the ratio of household consumption expenditure intermediated by platforms to total consumer spending — as a latent variable and estimates it using ...

The authors of the article oppose the expert mainstream, which is based on methodological individualism and reduces social well-being to the standard of living, education, and freedom of individuals. Mainstream measurements do not consider historically established communities as subjects of development, and therefore do not notice the obvious paradox: maximizing what is commonly considered to ...
