The initiative aims to support 10 to 15 startups from Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, and South Africa that are developing scalable solutions to tackle the continent’s most pressing sustainability and climate challenges.

Building on the momentum of last year’s inaugural programme, Greentech Africa 2025 will continue to support high-impact startups working at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and climate resilience.

The accelerator is specifically designed to help early-stage ventures become investment-ready, equipping them with the tools, resources, and networks needed to attract funding and grow their businesses.

Startups selected for the programme will receive tailored mentorship, expert-led workshops, and the opportunity to pitch to investors, all while refining their business models to better address systemic issues related to the environment and sustainable development.

Village Capital has a long-standing presence in Africa, having run over 14 accelerator programmes across the continent since 2012.

The organization is known for its unique peer-selected investment model, which puts decision-making power in the hands of entrepreneurs.

Through its initiatives, Village Capital aims to close the early-stage funding gap and catalyse inclusive economic growth.

The Greentech Africa programme focuses on a range of sectors essential for sustainable development.

These include cleantech and climate tech, agri-tech and food security, the circular and regenerative economy, natural resource management, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH).  

Applications are now open and will close on May 9, 2025.

Eligible startups from the five target countries are encouraged to apply through Village Capital’s official channels.
