SUMMARY:EEP Africa Knowledge Week
DESCRIPTION:EEP Africa Knowledge Week is a series of online events that examines evolving themes and innovative projects in the clean energy sector in Africa. The event this year includes sessions on cold storage technologies and business models\, the upcoming EEP Africa Call for Proposals and unlocking carbon finance. \nWe are pleased to have an exciting group of speakers drawn from the sector. We also look forward to announcing EEP Africa 2023 Projects of the Year and our 2023 Rising Energy Leader during the week. \nIn addition\, EEP Africa is launching its alumni network\, drawing on nearly 260 projects which have benefited from EEP Africa financing over the past 12 years. The network will create visibility\, networking\, and knowledge-sharing opportunities for EEP Africa alumni. \n  \n\nCooling Solutions: Interplay Between Business Models and Technology in SSA\nTuesday\, 6 February at 14:00 - 15:30 GMT+2\n\nIn emerging markets\, access to cold storage is critical for both health and nutrition\, and can reduce food waste\, provide economic opportunities for farmers and businesses\, and reduce the burden on vulnerable populations. New technologies and business models for off-grid cooling solutions are on the rise\, using innovative and digital solutions which also allow decentralised monitoring and decision making. However\, there are pressing concerns revolving around ensuring both productivity and accessibility\, especially for the economically marginalized at the bottom of the pyramid. Long-term viability also remains a hurdle for many cold storage companies which play a crucial role in preventing post-harvest loss. \nThis session will dissect the critical interplay between cold storage technological innovation and sustainable business models\, exploring how such frameworks can be harnessed to not only drive economic development but also empower underserved communities. \n\n\nModerator: Chiedza Mazaiwana\, EEP Africa Portfolio Manager \nSpeakers: Christopher Emmot\, Acumen; more speakers to be confirmed. \nRegister now >>\n\n\n\n\n \nEEP Africa Call for Proposals: Grant Financing for Innovative Clean Energy Solutions & EEP Africa Alumni Network Launch  \nWednesday\, 7 February at 14:00 - 15:30 GMT+2\n\n\nAre you a clean energy company doing business in Southern or Eastern Africa? Are you interested in grant financing for innovative clean energy solutions? Join EEP Africa Knowledge Week to learn about the upcoming Call for Proposals\, followed by a chance to ask questions about the process and get tips on how to make a good application. We will also present the awards for Project of the Year and Rising Energy Leader during this session. \nIn addition\, EEP Africa is launching its alumni network\, drawing on nearly 260 projects which have benefited from EEP Africa financing over the past 12 years. The network will create visibility\, networking\, and knowledge-sharing opportunities for EEP Africa alumni. \nEEP Africa provides risk tolerant early-stage grant financing for locally driven innovative clean projects\, technologies\, and business models through a competitive call for proposals process. Project financing is supplemented by technical support\, investment facilitation\, and knowledge sharing. \n\n\nSpeakers: Jussi Viding\, EEP Africa Fund Manager\, and Susanne Hounsell\, EEP Africa Head of Portfolio \nRegister now >> \n\n  \n\nUnlocking Carbon Finance for Smaller Energy Businesses \nThursday\, 8 February at 14:00 - 15:30 GMT+2 \nThe voluntary carbon market presents an opportunity for renewable energy companies to access additional revenue streams and expand their reach. Despite the opportunity\, the African carbon credits market has significant scope for growth\, having attained only 2% of its full potential to date. The development of the carbon credits market in Africa is primarily hindered by market-related challenges. Small businesses especially face disadvantages that restrict their direct access to the carbon credit market. These include high associated costs\, required scale\, and a lengthy and cumbersome accreditation process. However\, innovative approaches are emerging which address these barriers. \nJoin to hear about several cost-effective and innovative solutions emerging within the carbon credits market\, catering to the needs of smaller businesses. \n\n\n\nModerator: Karlijn Groen\, EEP Africa Portfolio Manager \nSpeakers: Ryan Ombara\, Open Capital Advisors; Nikki Carenza\, 4R Digital; Dennis Owino Onono\, South Pole; Madrin Maina\, Sistema.bio; more speakers to be confirmed. \nRegister now >>

SUMMARY:Future of Energy
DESCRIPTION:On 29 February & 1 March 2024\, FMO and Solarplaza will host the 'Future of Energy' summit in Amsterdam\, uniting a global mix of top project developers\, financial institutions and investors\, service providers\, and asset owners to tackle the strategic challenges of accelerating the renewable energy transition in emerging markets. \nThe global energy and climate future hinges on emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) to successfully transition to clean energy systems. For EMDEs\, accelerating the deployment of renewables can bolster their energy access and security\, reduce reliance on fossil fuels\, and meet net-zero targets. Currently\, only a fraction of global clean energy investments flows into EMDEs. How can we redirect attention and financial efforts to the developing world and harness the potential of RE technology to overcome regional challenges related to uncertain policy frameworks\, the rising cost of capital\, and the perceived increase of investment risks? \n'Future of Energy' is a must-attend event for everyone rising to the challenge of RE project development & financing in Asia\, Africa\, Latin America\, and Eastern Europe. The scope of this 5th edition will encompass renewables in the broadest sense\, including hybrid (wind & solar) applications\, green hydrogen\, energy storage\, e-mobility\, distributed energy\, and grid infrastructure. Through networking opportunities\, interactive panel discussions\, and world-class keynotes\, 'Future of Energy' will condense a year of business development into two days of learning\, network-building\, and good fun!
