Agricultural Supply Chain This project was funded through the InterAmerican Investment Corp. (IIC), part of the InterAmerican Development Bank (IDB), for one of the largest producers of dried organic tropical fruits in North America. The arrangements were completed in just a few months and the company has since secured additional working capital from other, hardlined sources, as a result of meeting IIC’s stringent loan requirements, including environmental and social performance. The company has opened additional facilities and exceeded growth expectations in the years since. In 3 provided the complete package — business plan, financial modeling, loan origination and due diligence support that delivered investment success. PROJECT FINANCE CASE STUDY: Capacity Building in Indonesia Working with Asian Development Bank and private-sector partners, In 3 founder Daniel Robin provided technical assistance for financing large-scale energy efficiency projects through capital / loan guarantees and insurance product innovation. Most local banks had been previously unwilling to consider energy efficiency retrofits as the upfront capital costs make projects appear untenable, despite substantial long-term savings spread over the life of the equipment. Daniel helped organize the enabling credit enhancements, insurance, and change management procedures as well as the training materials to make the transition.
