Accelerating Africa's climate-smart founders.
We believe sustainable agriculture and climate-smart solutions will drive economic development across the continent — so we back the startups building them.
The continent positioned to lead on climate.
Africa is home to some of the fastest-growing economies in the world. With a young, tech-savvy population and a growing need for climate resilience, the continent is positioned to lead in climate-smart technologies and sustainable solutions.
It is also the continent most affected by climate change — facing rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, and resource scarcity. Yet it is a hub of innovation, with resilient entrepreneurs developing the technologies to drive sustainable change. Our program helps them reach the milestones that matter.
