devel­op­ing finance mech­a­nisms for green buildings

About the enterprise:

ROCKETS – the Fin­Tech enter­prise from Graz – found­ed in 2013 GREEN ROCKET, one of the first Crowd­fund­ing plat­forms in Aus­tria. By 2016, three plat­forms had been found­ed – GREEN ROCKET, HOME ROCKET and LION ROCKET, which are now respon­si­ble for the biggest year­ly vol­ume of invest­ment in the domes­tic crowd­fund­ing sector.

GREEN ROCKET has been con­test­ing its posi­tion as Europe’s lead­ing Crowd­fund­ing plat­form for the exclu­sive financ­ing of sus­tain­ably ori­ent­ed Start Ups and Enter­pris­es for years now. HOME ROCKET start­ed in 2015 as a plat­form for real estate-crowd­fund­ing and has only been coop­er­at­ing with renowned con­trac­tors, whose respec­tive real estate projects are reviewed by impar­tial assess­ments. LION ROCKET has been estab­lished as a plat­form for renowned enter­pris­es since its foun­da­tion in 2016 and com­bines financ­ing with mar­ket­ing and cos­tumer loy­al­ty activ­i­ties. In 2016 ROCKETS devel­oped the dig­i­tal online mark­ing of shares and bonds and placed it on the mar­ket. Since then it has been an offi­cial fund­ing part­ner of the Vien­na Exchange.

About the initiative:

With UNIC, ROCKETS want to start an ini­tia­tive, which puts HOME ROCKETS suc­cess­ful­ly financed real estate projects into the cen­ter. Its projects reg­u­lar­ly reach their respec­tive fund­ing lim­it, which shows the high trust of the crowd in these reviewed real estate projects. How­ev­er, one can notice, that these projects are not (rad­i­cal­ly) greened objects or projects that have the goal to explic­it­ly con­tribute to cli­mate change adaption.

 

It is the goal of this project ini­tia­tive with UNIC, in com­bi­na­tion with the sus­tain­able ori­en­ta­tion of the plat­form GREEN ROCKET, to rein­force the focus on the top­ic of Impact Invest­ment – specif­i­cal­ly on the top­ic of adap­tion to cli­mate change with green and blue infra­struc­ture on and around the real estate projects, for exam­ple via the green­ing of build­ings. This way, invest­ments by the crowd in a real estate project shall in the future con­tribute to the adap­tion to cli­mate change via green­ing and to cli­mate pro­tec­tion via the pas­sive cool­ing of buildings.

Incen­tive schemes and financ­ing mod­els shall be devel­oped with­in the frame­works of UNIC, so that in the future green infra­struc­ture will increas­ing­ly be thought of, financed and imple­ment­ed in projects. A pos­si­bil­i­ty would be social impact bonds, new cal­cu­la­tion mod­els for real estate val­ue growth through the green­ing of build­ings and in gen­er­al new financ­ing instru­ments that allow con­struc­tors to imple­ment and uti­lize green real estate more eas­i­ly. A demo-project design shall be developed.
