Xeptagon, a climate-fintech company delivering digital infrastructure for carbon markets,
sustainability reporting, and climate finance, continues to expand its global leadership in
climate technology and green finance. The company works with governments,
intergovernmental organisations, and Fortune 500 corporates to build trusted systems
that enable transparency and compliance across carbon trading, ESG data, and
sustainable supply chains.
With flagship projects spanning Asia, Africa, and Europe — including partnerships with
Fortune 500 companies and multiple government agencies — Xeptagon’s platforms
support both voluntary and compliance carbon markets, helping institutions meet the
Paris Agreement’s Article 6 requirements and new trade-linked regulations such as the
EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
Green FinTech POCs Supporting a Carbon-Neutral Future
Xeptagon recently delivered three Green FinTech Proof-of-Concepts (POCs) under
Hong Kong’s Green and Sustainable FinTech Proof-of-Concept Funding Support
Scheme, sponsored by the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB) and
administered by Cyberport Hong Kong. Developed in collaboration with Schneider
Electric, Tessellation Group, and THINK ESG Ltd., the projects demonstrate how
financial innovation and technology can enable measurable, verifiable progress toward
carbon neutrality.
The three POCs — focused on Green Credit Management, Carbon Trading, and Supply
Chain Transparency — provide practical solutions for banks, regulators, and corporates
preparing for CBAM compliance. Together, they showcase Xeptagon’s approach to
integrating verified emissions data, blockchain-based registries, and smart analytics into
climate finance infrastructure.
“Our goal is to make sustainable finance practical and verifiable,” said Dr. Sapumal
Ahangama, Co-Founder and CEO of Xeptagon. “These collaborations show how data
and finance can work together to build the trusted infrastructure needed for a carbon-
neutral economy.”
Global Recognition and Strategic Collaborations
Xeptagon’s growing influence in climate-fintech has been recognised globally. The
company was selected for the Accenture FinTech Innovation Lab Asia-Pacific 2025,
joining a selective cohort of fewer than 400 startups globally mentored over the last
decade by leading institutions such as Global Banks, Accenture, and Cyberport Hong
Kong. Alumni of this programme have collectively raised more than US $6.6 billion
worldwide.
Xeptagon was also named a finalist in the Hong Kong Green FinTech Competition 2025,
hosted by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), and is featured on the Hong
Kong Green FinTech Map 2025 among the region’s top climate-finance innovators. In
addition, the company was recognised as a Top-10 global finalist in the Digital Public
Infrastructure (DPI) Innovation Challenge, organised by the Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), for developing an
open-source registry module that integrates SDG co-benefits into carbon accounting
systems.
A Global Footprint Rooted in Two Innovation Hubs
Xeptagon operates from two key innovation centres: Port City Colombo, where it
opened the first operational office in the Port City IT Park last month, and Cyberport
Hong Kong, Asia’s premier technology hub that hosts multiple unicorns. These twin
hubs connect South Asia’s emerging climate-tech ecosystem with Asia-Pacific’s fintech
leadership, enabling Xeptagon to bridge innovation, finance, and policy in building the
digital foundation for a sustainable future.
“We believe transparency is the currency of the new green economy,” added Dr.
Ahangama. “Our work connects data, finance, and policy to enable real progress toward
a carbon-neutral world.”
