African climate tech is gaining momentum, with a growing number of ventures, investors and ecosystem actors developing new approaches to turn innovation into scalable businesses. This panel brings together entrepreneurs, investors and ecosystem partners to explore what is already working from accessing markets and partnerships to finding the right type of capital at the right stage. Drawing on practical experiences from across African markets, the discussion will highlight successful approaches, remaining gaps and what different actors can do to help more climate ventures scale.
This session is organized jointly by GIZ Egypt - PSI project and the Catalist initiative.
