Cooperation will connect renewable energy planning, project preparation, competitive tendering and access to international finance through the SPONSOR platform.
DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, October 16, 2026 — SPONSOR (SCOP) has signed a cooperation agreement with the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan to support the development of bankable renewable energy projects and accelerate progress towards the country’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
The signing ceremony took place during the Entrepreneurship Forum “TOJIKISTON BA PESH!”, held on October 14–15, 2026, in Dushanbe. The Forum was presided over by His Excellency Emomali Rahmon, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, and was followed by the signing ceremony.
The agreement was signed by Michael Grimm, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SPONSOR (SCOP), together with Rahimzoda Sulton Nurmahammad, Chairman of the State Committee on Investment and State Property Management of the Republic of Tajikistan, and Shukurzoda Isfandiyor, First Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan.
SPONSOR was represented at the Forum and signing ceremony by Michael Grimm and A.T.M Rahat Mohammad, Co-Founder and Head of Business Development and Investor Relations.
The cooperation establishes a coordinated pathway from identifying renewable energy opportunities to preparing projects for investment, selecting developers and facilitating access to funding.
Under the agreement, SPONSOR will support the Government of Tajikistan in developing a detailed roadmap of renewable energy opportunities and preparing the project documentation required to strengthen bankability and attract international participation.
Projects will then be tendered through the SPONSOR platform, inviting a global pool of developers to assess opportunities and submit competitive bids. Following the award process, selected developers will be able to seek financing through the same platform, connecting project preparation and procurement with potential investors and financing partners.
This integrated approach is intended to address a key challenge in renewable energy deployment: translating national ambitions into well-prepared projects that developers and financiers can evaluate and advance towards financial close.
By bringing these stages together, the cooperation aims to strengthen Tajikistan’s renewable energy project pipeline, broaden access to international expertise and capital, and support faster implementation of the country’s climate commitments under its NDC.
SPONSOR expresses its special thanks to Dr. Manizha Muhammad, Regional Coordinator, for her valuable support in facilitating this cooperation and coordinating SPONSOR’s participation in the Forum and signing ceremony.
