Many brilliant climate solutions fail, not because they lack passion or intelligence, but because the ecosystem built around them is fragmented, confusing, and difficult to navigate. Policies exist, funding exists, support structures exist, but somehow, startups still struggle to connect the dots.
As we launch the CIED Project, we have a strong commitment to change that!

From bridging the gap of climate finance readiness, to translating policy into action, to creating real pathways for investment, this initiative is about making climate innovation work in real life, especially for youth and women-led startups in Northern Nigeria.

As we officially launched the Climate Innovation Ecosystem Development (CIED) Project in Kano, supported by Pace Nigeria, we started with a powerful multi-stakeholder roundtable/Co-creation.

The aim is to build a powerful toolkit, an extension of the great work of the Kano State Government on the historic Climate change policy; to support Climate actors, startups, investors and researchers from ideation to scale, investment and impact.

With great feedbacks and support from the Government, Innovators, Development Orgs, Academia, and DFI's, this co-creation is the beginning of a shared commitment to build a climate innovation ecosystem that actually works for Northern Nigeria.
