Solution17 for Climate Action in Africa was founded to spark

creativity among young people in building the Future We
Want through Climate Action Enterprises. The project took off

creative and innovative capacities to produce SDG-based
solutions for social impact and profit.

It began with the registration and submission of project ideas,
followed by training and selection sessions. 17 Finalists were

admitted for bespoke training at the Solution17 Innovation Hub
in July 2020. The project produced 17 Green startups with a
projection to create a minimum of five million innovators

across the world through Entrepreneurship Network Marketing
(ENM) by September 25, 2030.
