Goparity raised €2.9 million in a 3XP Global-led funding round to scale its UN-aligned sustainability projects, leveraging new EU regulations and Canada’s tax incentives for green tech expansion.
Lisbon-based Goparity announced on 6 May 2025 a €2.9 million investment led by 3XP Global to expand its sustainable crowdfunding platform across Europe and Canada. The fintech firm plans to deploy €50 million in UN SDG-aligned projects by mid-2025, capitalizing on recent EU regulatory simplifications and Canada’s new SDG tax credits revealed in its 2025 federal budget.
Funding Details and Strategic Goals
3XP Global’s climate tech division spearheaded the investment round, building on its April 2024 impact report showing 12 million tons of CO2 reduction across portfolio companies. Goparity CEO Nuno Brito Santos confirmed immediate plans to enter Canada’s carbon credit market through partnerships with two Toronto-based clean tech firms.
Regulatory Tailwinds
The European Commission’s 9 May report highlighted a 40% year-over-year increase in green fintech investments during Q1 2025, attributed to simplified sustainability reporting requirements under the revised EU taxonomy. Parallel developments include Portugal’s 22% April crowdfunding surge reported by the Bank of Portugal on 8 May, predominantly in energy projects.
Market Context and Historical Precedents
This funding follows a pattern of regulatory-driven growth in sustainable finance. The EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), implemented in March 2021, previously catalyzed a 300% increase in ESG fund assets within 18 months. Canada’s new 30% SDG tax credit mirrors France’s successful 2022 green startup incentive that boosted climate tech investments by €1.4 billion.
Goparity’s community-driven model faces scaling challenges against established players like Amsterdam-based GreenGateway, which secured €120 million in February 2025. However, the platform’s niche focus on verifiable SDG impact metrics positions it uniquely in a market where 68% of European investors now demand project-level ESG disclosures, according to Morningstar’s April 2025 analysis.
