Our convening at the margins of the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit

With increasing momentum accelerating corporate climate action and climate capital, significant investments are being made by U.S. businesses to spur climate-related entrepreneurship and enterprise in Africa. Recent initiatives include Connected Climate Entrepreneurs of the U.S. State Department’s Office of Global Partnerships, announced at COP26.

This convening at the margins of the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit explored current opportunities for multi-tiered capital deployment, partnership pipelines, finance coalitions, and funding channels. We showcased ecosystem-level opportunities for African entrepreneurs and enterprises and highlighted regional climate-driven initiatives and programs.

The event featured broad representation of decision-makers from over 70 different organizations across the public, private, university, and non-profit spaces. Our geographic representation was equally diverse, with over 42 countries participating.
