Abstract

국제사회는 탄소중립 목표를 달성하려면 기후기술의 혁신이 전제되어야 한다는 점을 강조하고 있다. 그동안 기후재원과 청정에너지 투자 규모는 확대되어 왔으며, 최근 기후기술과 타 분야 기술(AI 등)이 결합된 새로운 시장이 빠르게 성장하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기후기술 혁신을 이끌어갈 수 있는 대표적인 경제주체인 스타트업의 성장과 해외진출에 초점을 맞추어 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 기후기술 스타트업은 ‘온실가스 감축 또는 기후변화 적응에 기여하는 기술과 연관된 혁신적인 아이디어나 비즈니스 모델을 보유하고 있으면서 업력이 10년 이하인 비상장 기업’을 의미한다. 해당 정의를 토대로 기술 선도국 정부의 정책뿐 아니라 유망 기후기술 스타트업의 성공 사례를 검토하고, 우리나라 기후기술 스타트업 생태계 및 R&D 지원 사업의 효과를 분석한 결과를 종합하여 시사점을 도출하였다. Carbon neutrality, as a long-term goal of the international community, can only be achieved through innovation in climate technologies. The scale of climate finance and clean energy investments has continued to grow, with new markets recently emerging through the convergence of climate technologies with other advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). In this context, this study focuses on the growth and global expansion of startups, which are key economic players capable of driving innovation in climate technologies. In the study, a climate tech startup is defined as an unlisted company established within the past 10 years that has innovative ideas or business models related to technologies contributing to greenhouse gas reduction or climate change adaptation. Based on this definition, the study examines not only the roles of government support in leading countries but also success stories of promising climate tech startups. It also analyzes the ecosystem for climate tech startups and the effectiveness of R&D support programs in Korea, ultimately deriving policy implications for Korea.
