The Greenovations Collaboration Forum is the culminating event of the Greenovations project, to be held from the 23^rd to the 25^th 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.

Objectives:

• Present key results of the Greenovations Africa project
• Co-create solutions to address silos of engagement within and between key actors of the green entrepreneurship and innovation space
• Develop synergies and partnerships to address emerging issues within the green innovation space
• Create awareness of innovative strategies and partnerships for accelerating green entrepreneurship for climate action
• Stimulate impactful partnerships to address challenges within the gender dimension and the policy and enabling environment of Africa’s innovation space

The series consists of four co-creative sessions featuring key pitches and panels around three thematic clusters: (i) Enabling Environment; (ii) Unlocking Finance for Innovators; and (iii) Gender Dimension in Green Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
