An off-grid energy impact investment company, ‘All On’ has launched its Innovation Ecosystem Development Programme (AO-IEDP) aimed at supporting clean energy startups and entrepreneurs within the organisation’s hub.
The 12-month incubation and prototype development programme will provide technical expertise, hands-on development, access to appropriate equipment and facilities, mentorship and necessary support to the participants.
Launching the programme, the Chief Executive Officer of All On, Caroline Eboumbou stated that the exercise funded by Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet would address a “critical gap in Nigeria’s clean energy ecosystem by providing the technical and infrastructural support needed by promising ventures at the ideation and prototype development stage.”
Eboumbou disclosed that 10 participating entities will receive hands-on technical guidance, venture creation training, mentorship and access to fabrication facilities to support the development and testing of their solutions.
According to her, “While access to capital remains important for growing energy businesses, many early-stage ventures require more than funding to turn an idea into a viable solution.
