The Digital and Green Innovation Action invites bold entrepreneurs with early-stage startups registered in Kenya, Uganda, or Ethiopia who are building digital, green, and circular solutions addressing the strategic focus areas.
Focus areas include Green, Clean Energy, Cleantech, Circular Economy, Environment, Technology, Digital, and Green Economy.
The programme is designed to help startups refine their business models, strengthen investment readiness, and access opportunities for sustainable growth and global impact. Selected participants will benefit from a structured learning and support journey covering business model refinement, market access, scaling strategies, and leadership development. The programme offers one-on-one and group mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs, investors, and technical experts from Africa and Europe, providing valuable guidance throughout the journey.
Startups will also receive investor readiness training to build winning pitches, refine fundraising strategies, and connect with investors seeking digital and green ventures. Additionally, participants will gain market and visibility opportunities through partnerships, exposure, and participation in global platforms such as Latitude59. On a competitive basis, between three and six startups will be supported to attend the Latitude59 event in Nairobi, Kenya from December 3rd to 5th, 2025, while three startups will be supported to attend the Latitude59 event in Estonia in May 2026. The top three startups will receive grants from a total prize pool of 15,000 Euros at the end of the programme.
Delivered by Civitta in collaboration with mLab, GrowthAfrica, Latitude59, and Startup Wise Guys, the initiative connects Africa’s innovators with investors, markets, and global opportunities. The Digital and Green Innovation Action is co-funded by the participating Team Europe partners—Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Estonia—and the European Commission.
