Green Enterprise Incubation Program (GEIP)

The Green Enterprise Incubation Program is designed for a young innovator aged 18-35 who is passionate about solving real environmental problems through business. Our ideal candidate is someone who has identified a challenge in the climate or sustainability space and is driven to build a scalable solution around it, whether in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, waste management, or any other green sector. He/She is purpose-led, not just profit-led, and are motivated by the desire to create lasting environmental and economic impact in their communities and beyond. While they may have a compelling idea and the grit to pursue it, they are at a stage where they lack the structures, mentorship, funding connections, and business frameworks needed to grow with confidence. They are eager to learn, open to guidance, and ambitious enough to dream of building the next generation of green enterprises: Africa’s future climate unicorns.
