Sustainable Impact Challenge – Africa Edition

The Sustainable Impact Challenge is an open call to all startups and scaleups which are working on solutions within Off-grid energy, Water Management and Environmental Protection. The challenge has two channels:

Local for local:
If you are a local startup or scaleup, already present in Angola, we want to help you scale your solution by exploring possible partnership opportunities and the potential for a collaboration to, together, support the sustainable development of the community.

Global for local:
If you are a foreigner startup or scaleup, you will receive support to expand your business in the geographies where Eni is active, together with the opportunity to work with Eni and further develop your solutions within the mentioned innovation domains.

What’s in it for you?

• Networking opportunities
  Access Eni’s expertise, knowledge, and skills to further develop your startup or scaleup.
• Location privilege
  Open door to a new geographic location – if you are a global startup, OR opportunity to scale faster and further within your region – if you are a local startup.
• Collaboration opportunities
  The connection with Eni and partners, comes with the possibility of a potential collaboration outside of this challenge.
