SDGs Unicorn Accelerator (SUA) is initiated by CASVI to drive value creation and incubate sustainable development value. SUA searches for early stage (pre-A/A round) entrepreneurs who align with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and have innovative solutions, to support them to solve social and environmental problems at scale using viable business solutions. SUA achieves this by providing tech-enabled product design, blended finance matchmaking and cross-sector resources integration for impact.
SUA 2020 was held in Shenzhen, China between Sept 15 - 19 at the China Global Philanthropy Institute. 23 social start-up founders from across the country gathered together for a 5-day immersive (and packed!) program.

Throughout the 5-day programme, founders engage with mentors through both 1-1 sessions and 5 Core Modules (Product, Marketing, Financing, Strategy and Team). Mock roadshows were held twice during the program, and the top 3 finalists would be able to pitch in front of VCs, government officials and more during the Private Equity for Sustainable Development Forum.
