Actions and results
ESTDEV’s project focuses on empowering African ecosystems and entrepreneurs, enhancing their capacity to develop green and digital innovations.
This entails identifying possible digital solutions for the green transition that are tailored to the local context and meet sustainability, equity, and inclusivity goals. Planned project activities include entrepreneurship competitions to address specific needs across Africa, capacity building and business advisory services to support the development of related enterprises, services and products.
In addition to policy conversations and exchanging expertise, Estonia’s Digital & Green Innovation Action will organise a high-level innovation summit, bringing innovators, startups, investors, policymakers, industry leaders, and global partners together. By facilitating the collaboration of ecosystem stakeholders at the event, the aim is to boost financial support and improve policy alignment for digital and green innovation.
