The Green Village is a curated, visible and structured marketplace layer that expands access to the African green economy without diluting AGES’s protected investment core.
It transforms AGES from an annual convening into a living market floor, where capital, policy, projects and solutions interact in real time, strengthening deal flow, partnerships and pipeline development across the ecosystem.
Project pods give investment-ready projects visibility beyond their time on the pitch stage.
Every sector of the green and blue economy has a place here, in line with this year's theme.
We want the full breadth of Africa's green economy represented, from renewable energy and green transport to water, waste, sustainable agriculture, green buildings, the blue economy and climate tech.
A dedicated physical presence within the Green Village
Corporate pods are reserved for specific types of organisations, including special economic zones, industrial development zones and foundations.
Corporate pods are also available as an add-on for our sponsors, giving them a dedicated physical presence within the Green Village alongside their existing partnership.
Projects and programmes showcased together under one roof
Pavilions bring together projects and programmes from development finance institutions and specific countries under one roof.
They allow DFIs and country delegations to group and showcase their impact on Africa's green economy in a coherent, curated space.
The Green Village is designed to deliver the following integrated outcomes:
Lower barriers to entry for climate / green solution and technology companies, startups, SMMEs, cities and public entities that add real value .
Move beyond pitch decks to tangible demonstrations of capability, technology readiness and implementation models.
Enable structured interactions that lead to partnerships, pilots, procurement and investment progression
Reinforce AGES’s position as Africa’s leading green economy marketplace, not just a conference.
Participation is curated, ensuring relevance, quality and alignment with AGES investment priorities.
The Green Village brings together a deliberately curated mix of ecosystem actors, including:
Otua Sobukwe
Skybound Capital
The Green Village is designed to complement and strengthen the AGES Investment Conference—not replace it.
AGES retains a protected, invitation-led investment core, including:
This ensures delegates pay for curation, acceleration and deal progression, while visitors gain access without diluting investment conference integrity.
Africa's Green Economy Summit connects industry professionals and organisations to information and each other in a carefully curated live environment. Its purpose is to support in mobilising investments for green projects to scale up and industrialisation, which will have a significant impact on environmental sustainability and economic growth.
