In March 2022, AFSIA partnered with Startup|Energy once again for the 2nd edition of the African leg of Startup|Energy.
Startup|Energy promotes the development of startups in the field of decentralized renewable energy supply and supports their exchange with each other across two regions:
- DA-CH: Germany, Austria, Switzerland
- East African Community: Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda.
Startup|Energy is not about the one-sided transfer of knowledge but about an equal exchange of ideas and solutions for the respective region.
The 2nd edition of the Africa Boot Camp and pitch competition took place in April 2022.
In this session, the 5 shortlisted startups that will be presenting their initiative include:
- Victor Ndiege– CEO, Kenya Climates Ventures
- Olukakun Tolutope – CEO, ThinkBikes
- Berwa Leandre– Co-Founder, Second Life Storage
- Paul Siabi Senaye– Founder, WorldTech Consultant
- Mwamed Mutanje– Co-Founder, Solar Pipo
The “Africa Energy Start-Ups Series” is a collaboration between AFSIA and Start-Up | Energy which will present innovative African start-ups every 2 months on a multitude of topics such as e-mobility, storage, fintech and productive use to cite a few. The spirit of this series is to promote African start-ups, for Africans by Africans and to present how innovative they are to potential partners and investors coming from the rest of the world.
