The SET Alliance serves as a multi-stakeholder platform of experts dedicated to furthering servitisation across sectors around the world. The SET Alliance builds on the work completed by the Cooling as a Service (CaaS) and the Efficiency as a Service (EaaS) initiatives, both led by BASE since 2019 and 2020, with the support of the Clean Cooling Collaborative and the European Commission, respectively. The Alliance is made up of the secretariat (BASE), an esteemed steering committee comprising of non-governmental organisations, private sector entities, and academic institutions, and its supporting members and outreach partners.
BASE combines expertise in technology, markets, economics, finance and business development to deliver effective solutions for every project.
BASE builds bridges between sectors and actors at the nexus between climate solutions, finance and international development. BASE has been leading the design and implementation of the Cooling as a Service Initiative, and is the Secretariat of the SET Alliance.
