AfroGreen Bootcamp

Supported by Climate KIC, Westerwelle Startup Haus Arusha and Westerwelle Startup Haus Mombasa are jointly running the pre bootcamp for the upcoming third cohort accelerator for climate entrepreneurs in Arusha and Mombasa. This cohort will include 30 participants—15 from Arusha and 15 from Mombasa. We are looking for motivated founders who want to grow their businesses while making an impact on our community and planet.

About the AfroGreen Bootcamp?

The AfroGreen Bootcamp is an intensive 5-day in-person experience designed to equip early-stage climate entrepreneurs with the practical tools, insights, and networks they need to build impactful and scalable businesses.

This bootcamp is a continuation of the AfroGreen ClimAccelerator program, which has previously supported climate entrepreneurs in East Africa through capacity building, mentorship, and investment readiness support. Building on the success and learnings of previous cohorts, the bootcamp is tailored to meet the evolving needs of startups operating in the green and blue economy sectors. It provides a strong foundation for climate innovators to refine their business models, build climate resilience into their operations, and prepare for investment and market growth.
