Accelerating Climate Innovation in Africa
The Africa Climate Finance Day will showcase pioneering startups addressing the continent’s pressing environmental challenges. During the last event, 10 startups raised approximately
$1 million in funding from attending investors and gained access to global accelerator programs, fast-tracking their growth and impact. This year, the stakes are even higher as we seek to unlock new opportunities for Africa’s climate resilience.
Why Attend?
Attendees will have the chance to:
- Witness groundbreaking climate-tech innovations addressing sustainability challenges.
- Connect with impact-driven entrepreneurs and leading investors ready to collaborate.
- Engage in discussions on topics like Net Zero Commitment, Climate Financing, and Scaling Innovative Solutions in Africa.
Our agenda features a dynamic lineup of inspiring speakers, expert panelists, and a live pitch session spotlighting investment-ready solutions.
"Our goal is to channel impactful investments into deserving but otherwise-unseen Climate solutions for Africa.”
A Word from Our Partner, Jordan Forester
“Africa is the elephant in the room — and I’m not just talking about the injustice that Africa will bear most of the risk of the climate crisis despite contributing only 4% of global emissions,” says Jordan Forester, who helped build Courial (backed by Elemental Impact) after his Wall Street career. “With a population projected to make up a quarter of earth’s total by 2040, unfair geographic advantages (think geothermal abundance in Kenya for direct air capture), and increasingly competitive workforce, it feels silly to think Africa won’t be a driver of global decarbonization and massive returns for the investors who take early bets now.
"The “Flutterwave”s of climate tech are being built in Africa before our eyes. Attend this year’s African Climate Finance Day to meet a few of them. For me, I would bet on the elephant.”'
