Kenya Climate Innovation Center (KCIC) GreenBiz Incubation Programme 2022 | Opportunities For Africans

Application Deadline: February 28th, 2022

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (Danish MoFA) and Kenya Climate Innovation Center (KCIC) have partnered to implement The GreenBiz Programme for the next five years, from January 2021 to December 2025. The programme will support 300 climate technologies and related innovative business models to create over 3000 full time job opportunities.

The expected outcome will be increased commercialisation and scale up of climate related companies, which create decent jobs, increased access to low carbon energy sources, increased community and household resilience to climate change as well as other environmental and social benefits.

KCIC is engaged in five sectors: water; renewable energy and energy efficiency (RE & EE); agriculture; commercial forestry and waste management. By focusing on these sectors, KCIC (and its clients) will directly and indirectly contribute to the achievement of SDG 1 (no poverty); SDG 2 (no hunger); SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation), SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy), and SDG 13 (climate action). Others are SDG 15 (life
on land); SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) and SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production).

The Kenya Climate Innovation Center, which is the implementing partner, is placing a call for applications to enroll climate technologies and related business models into the programme. The GreenBiz Programme will address key challenges that hinder climate technologies and related innovative business models from tapping into the immense potential in the cleantech sector.

Successful applicants will receive technical and financial support based on assessment of actual needs on a case-by-case basis to enable them gain the requisite skills needed to scale their climate smart businesses.
