Singapore leads Southeast Asia climate-tech funding

The city-state accounted for about $872m of the region’s disclosed climate-tech equity funding.

Singapore led Southeast Asia’s climate-tech funding, accounting for about $872m of the region’s total disclosed equity funding of around $1.1b, according to Tracxn.

The report tracked 268 funding rounds across Southeast Asia’s climate-tech sector up to June 2026 year-to-date.

Singapore was well ahead of Indonesia, which recorded $162m in funding, and Vietnam, which recorded $53m.

Several of the region’s most-funded climate-tech companies are headquartered in Singapore, including Beam with $135m, Amperesand with $93m, and Neuron with $81m.

Four of the five most-funded companies in Southeast Asia are in electric mobility, including Singapore-based Beam and Neuron. Amperesand, which focuses on smart-grid hardware, was the only non-mobility company in the top five.

Across the region, solid waste management tech was the top-funded sector at $105m, followed by smart grid at $97m.

Amperesand’s $80m Series A accounted for a major share of smart-grid funding, whilst Green Li-ion’s $41m Series A supported funding in solid waste management tech.

In 2026 year-to-date, Singapore recorded activity through Polybee Systems’ $4m seed round and NEU Battery Materials’ undisclosed seed round.

Singapore also played a key role in investor activity, with government-linked SEEDS Capital and SGInnovate amongst the five most active investors in the region. SEEDS Capital participated in 15 rounds, whilst SGInnovate joined eight rounds, mainly at seed and early stage.

Tracxn said Southeast Asia’s climate-tech ecosystem remains largely seed and early-stage, with nearly all disclosed equity capital deployed at those stages.

The ecosystem has recorded 20 acquisitions and 10 public listings to date, with acquisitions concentrated in Singapore.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
