21 young innovators joined the ANGLE Accelerator for training, mentorship & peer learning driving solutions in energy, food systems & climate resilience. The journey to shape Africa’s sustainable future begins!
Meet the third batch of our Climate Innovators.
These three are bringing the energy quite literally.
We’ve got repurposed batteries powering new life, community-scale solar microgrids energizing rural areas, and a bold idea tackling market-level food waste before it ever hits the bin.
This is the future of energy justice, food systems and innovation, built from the ground up by young Africans with a vision.

The second batch of our climate innovators is rewriting the rules of sustainability in Africa.
💡 Think LPG packaging made from recycled plastic, cactus turned into biofuel, and climate-smart digital marketplaces for farmers! Add to that institutional cooking stoves that slash emissions and costs and you’ve got a powerhouse lineup.
These are more than ideas. They are tested solutions shaping the future of energy, agriculture and livelihoods.
African problems, African solutions. And we are here for all of it.
#nextgreenleaders #greengenerationinitiative
