Five young entrepreneurs from across the continent have been named winners of the 2025 African Climate Innovation Challenge (ACIC), a programme designed to equip emerging innovators with funding, mentorship, and technical support to scale climate solutions.

The competition continues to grow as one of Africa’s leading platforms for nurturing early-stage green enterprises, especially those driven by youth determined to tackle the climate crisis with practical, community-focused innovations.

The winners were selected during the ACIC Startup Pitch Event held on November 29, 2025, at Hotel Africana in Kampala, Uganda. Read more here:
