The Sustainable Innovation Seed Accelerator is designed for early-stage founders developing tech-enabled solutions in core sustainability sectors: agriculture, mobility, built environment, and energy. We believe these industries hold the key to a more climate-resilient, inclusive future and we’re backing the founders who are building it.
As part of UNDP’s timbuktoo initiative this 8-week program will take place in the GreenTech Hub in Nairobi (4 weeks in person, 4 weeks hybrid). The program helps startups refine their commercial strategy, strengthen their technical foundation, and connect with a supportive ecosystem. Through a mix of mentorship, peer learning, and hands-on programming, the goal is simple: help founders develop their ideas into scalable, sustainability-driven businesses.
