Climate tech is no longer a niche. It is becoming one of the most attractive spaces for investors worldwide. The reason is simple: solving climate challenges is not just good for the planet, it is good for business.
Across Africa and beyond, startups are building profitable solutions that tackle real problems. In Kenya, solar energy companies are helping rural communities power homes and schools. In Nigeria, startups are creating eco-friendly packaging to reduce plastic waste. Globally, innovators are rethinking supply chains, electric mobility, and carbon capture to make industries more sustainable.
The shift is clear. Investors are no longer asking if climate tech can deliver returns, but how fast it will scale. Markets reward businesses that combine profit with impact, and climate tech sits right at that intersection. The startups that win in this space will not only create value but also define the future of entire industries.
