The Greenovations Collaboration Forum is the culminating event of the Greenovations project, to be held from the 23rd to the 25th of September 2024 in Kampala, Uganda. The Forum will showcase the key outcomes of the Greenovations project and explore collaboration possibilities to address existing silos of engagement and challenges or hurdles facing innovators, entrepreneurship support organizations, and key enablers of the ecosystem. In bringing together funders, investors, research centers, tech hubs, universities, policymakers, youth and women green innovators, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders within the green sector, the Collaboration Forum aims to jointly map an actionable way forward to strengthen the green entrepreneurial ecosystem and shape the trajectory of the continent’s green transformation.
