Our focus is on industries that have the greatest potential for positive impact: Food Systems, Urbanisation, Materials, and Critical Minerals. 

These industries have historically been underfunded within the climate space (unlike, for example, energy and mobility), and yet continue to contribute heavily to several climate concerns within carbon removal, circularity, and climate resilience.

We believe in the power of African ingenuity to tackle the climate challenge head-on. As Sub-Saharan Africa emerges as a hub for innovation, leveraging our natural resources and ecosystems to create scalable, sustainable solutions is not just a priority—it’s an opportunity. 

Today we’re highlighting the heroes, the founders. This is what Kinjani is all about. We’re here to back African climate talent.

There are no shortcuts in life… but if there was one - it would be having a mentor. Today we’re highlighting the Kinjani Mentors that will be guiding founders towards success (and avoiding pitfalls) with their wisdom and experience.

Kinjani is calling for founders in Africa. At Kinjani we’re focused on doing the hard things. We love to get technical too. We’ve done the work, and found these key opportunity areas beginning to emerge for climate tech in Africa. Read on.
