The Innovation Fair will take place on 23 October at Maison de la Poste, Brussels, Belgium, and online. With the running theme title of “Enabling that step forward”, the Innovation Fair aims to showcase the vibrancy of the cooperation among European, African and Mediterranean innovation ecosystems, promoting innovative solutions with potential for market and societal uptake, vis-à-vis potential public and private funders and fostering networking, matchmaking and collaborations.

This webinar aims to showcase the contribution of Green Deal Call projects focusing on diverse green energy needs in African contexts who have collaborated through the Green Deal Projects Support Office (GD-SO) Working Group on Clean Energy. Four of the five projects - REFFECT AFRICA, SophIA, ENERGICA, and SESA are at a very advanced stage of implementation (while SteamBioAfrica has ended back on 31 August 2024). It also aims to discuss – through a panel discussion - how can the achievements they have registered in the last 4 years can be maintained and scaled-up after their conclusion.
