Meet Ahmed, our National Lead for Morocco!
What is your background?
As Founder of Africa Incubator, a coach, lecturer on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management and Impact Entrepreneur for more than 20 years experience in different fields. I have supported and guided many entrepreneurs and startups creating their businesses. With Africa Incubator we are building and bringing the entrepreneurial positive mindset to forgotten cities in Africa. What would be better if you teach these future entrepreneurs to protect our planets with their new cleantech ventures.
Why did you become the country lead of Morocco?
As partner of the Climovation and CleanTechHub family , we want to have impact, take concrete actions against climate change and promote the green entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem in Morocco and hopefully in the rest of Africa. The time is ripe. Furthermore Climatelaunchpad offers a new way to link businesses, entrepreneurs, universities, research, investors, and government to address the challenges and harness the opportunities of climate change.
Last but not least we strongly believe that we can create the best of the best green and cleantech entrepreneurs in the country.
Why do you think this competition is so important?
There is enough talent and we want to provide them with the right tools and network to grow, to rise and to take action. With a global network of innovators, world-class coaches and an inspiring atmosphere, participants have so much fun while learning how to transform their cleantech idea into a business success.
How does your organisation support cleantech start-ups?
With our partners around the globe (66 countries), we will connect new cleantech talent and businesses with partners, clients, investors worldwide and turn them into global exporters of green technologies. We grow the sector through supporting cleantech entrepreneurs and start-ups in the energy, water, waste management, smart cities, circular economy sectors.
