Africa's Best Read

Eight African start-ups are taking the virtual stage to pitch their green innovations addressing the challenges and adverse impact of climate change.

ClimateLaunchpad is the world’s largest green business ideas competition, dedicated to combating climate change through innovation and entrepreneurship. It is an annual global tournament which takes place virtually to minimise its carbon footprint and live up to the principles of being clean and green.

Local organising teams from the 12 participating African countries support the Netherlands-based ClimateLaunchpad team with the shortlisting of applications and training bootcamps, which all the start-up entrepreneurs undergo before competing. The participating nations include South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt, Morocco, Tanzania, Uganda, Angola, Mozambique as well as the island nations of Mauritius and Cape Verde.

The quality of the pitches presented by the start-ups demonstrated that Africans, particularly young Africans, are at the forefront of moving the continent to be on par with the rest of the world when it comes to compliance with international climate policy and climate action through green innovation and smart entrepreneurship.
