Problem
Institutional investors lack transparent, standardized data for evaluating natural capital investments, hindering the flow of capital towards nature conservation and restoration projects. The complexity and cost associated with measuring the impact of nature's ecosystem services further impede informed decision-making. This lack of visibility and quantifiable metrics creates a significant barrier to scaling investments in nature-based solutions.
Solution
Symbaiosys offers an AI-driven data platform that aggregates and analyzes approximately 200 data points to provide natural capital valuation for institutional investors. The platform enables data-driven investment decisions by quantifying the financial gains from investing in nature, complementing existing climate and nature-related financial risk assessment tools. By increasing the visibility of bankable nature-based solutions in traditional finance, Symbaiosys aims to mobilize nature finance at scale. The platform's taxonomy aligns with frameworks such as the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), as well as The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) and the IUCN’s Nature-based Solutions (NbS) principles.
