In a standout project, MiN member Ibisa teamed up with Bangladesh's APDS to bundle parametric climate insurance with microcredit, shielding 10,000 farmers from risks and boosting resilience – already surpassing targets with 2,300 adopters in months.
This LuxDev initiative offers EU firms up to €300,000 co-funding for high-impact partnerships in ODA-eligible countries, aligning business growth with SDGs. Apply by 8 May 2026, for the next round and unlock new markets.
