greenlabs® Incubation Programme
Turning Green-Tech Ideas Into Profitable African Businesses
The greenlabs® Program is an incubation initiative designed to transform bold ideas into practical solutions for Nigeria’s green economy by providing mentorship, training, and access to networks for young, early-stage innovators who are developing sustainable, scalable solutions that address pressing environmental, social, and economic challenges in Nigeria.
Cohort 1: Renewable Energy Revolution
Status: Completed
Our first cohort challenged young innovators to develop scalable, sustainable solutions for Nigeria’s energy access crisis. Over nine months, participants received mentorship, training, and access to networks, culminating in 13 finalists who developed market-ready clean energy ventures. Three startups secured pre-seed funding at the Demo Day.
Cohort 2: Powering Food Systems
Status: Ongoing
Cohort 2 is currently ongoing, with 18 innovators building renewable energy solutions that transform food systems across production, processing, distribution, and consumption. If you have an idea that could reshape how Africa grows, moves, or accesses food sustainably, greenlabs is your launchpad. 22 innovators are currently participating.
