Low Carbon Business Action Latam

What Low Carbon Business Action Latam does

Low Carbon and Circular Economy Business Action in Latam (LCBA) is a B2B matchmaking platform funded and supported by the European Union under the European Green Deal strategy. It connects European low-carbon and circular-economy technology suppliers with Latin American companies seeking sustainable solutions, operating across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia as primary markets, with extended implementation in Mexico and Canada. The platform targets sectors responsible for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions and provides participating companies with technical and financial advisory services, including legal assistance, feasibility studies, and financial coaching, to support deal completion. LCBA operates as an international cooperation program rather than a traditional commercial entity, with the EU serving as the sole funder and no external shareholders, venture capital, or private equity involvement.

The platform's product portfolio includes the core LCBA LATAM & Canada Low Carbon Solutions platform, a dedicated Argentina regional implementation, the Chamada Para Projetos (Call for Projects) program for structured deal origination, and the Business to Finance event series for sustainable financing intermediation. Its go-to-market is event-driven, supported by channel partnerships with financial institutions, industry clusters, trade associations, and chambers of commerce across both EU and LatAm regions. Three participant segments are served: EU suppliers (companies with up to 499 employees and majority EU ownership seeking LatAm market access), LatAm companies (non-micro enterprises with valid VAT registration pursuing sustainability projects), and stakeholders (financial institutions and industry associations supporting green transition).

Because LCBA is grant-funded and provides services to participants at no explicit cost, it does not operate a conventional revenue model. The core technology is the matchmaking platform itself, supplemented by in-person events; no proprietary AI, data, or software stack is disclosed. Founded circa 2015–2022 (sources disagree on the precise date) and headquartered in São Paulo with 8 employees, LCBA functions as a policy-driven diplomatic and commercial facilitation tool for EU climate and trade objectives in the Americas.
