Description

The tenth edition covers digital and economic inclusion, AgriTech and circular economy, women’s empowerment through innovation, and transparency and governance technologies. The pathway includes training, mentoring, incubation and a Demo Day at Strathmore University. Participation costs differ between activities. Match the proposed solution to the relevant sustainability theme and explain its present stage of development. The free-entry condition does not eliminate Kenya travel and accommodation costs. Consider these costs when planning participation, and treat the verified certificate as an optional paid addition. Eligibility: Innovators aged 18–35 living in Africa with an idea or early venture addressing sustainability. Funding: Free entry, training, community, prototyping and investor pitching. Kenya bootcamp travel and accommodation are self-funded; an optional verified certificate costs extra. Application: Choose one of the four themes and present the idea or early venture. Budget separately for Kenya bootcamp travel and accommodation; the paid verified certificate is optional. Schedule: 30 November 2026
