Emerge Green Africa and AfriLabs collaborate to promote green development.
AfriLabs, an African hub network, has teamed up with Emerge Green Africa on a significant initiative that will use creative energy modeling to promote green growth in Africa.
AfriLabs is a network organization that brings together investors, startups, technology hubs, and other important players in the ecosystem with the goal of promoting innovation and entrepreneurship across the continent.
AfriLabs currently has a network of 478 hubs spread across 260 locations in 53 African countries, after announcing the admittance of 16 new hubs lately.
In the meantime, the Emerge project, which got underway in December 2023, aims to bridge socioeconomic and cultural gaps while supplying African policymakers, scholars, investors, and citizens with the information and resources needed to boost the generation of clean energy and the sustainable use of resources.
Through the integration and expansion of current tools, methodologies, and approaches, Emerge will co-design and test a toolbox to simulate scenarios that maximize the use of available resources while taking social, climatic, economic, and technical restrictions into account.
Furthermore, a knowledge repository containing a compilation of projects, resources, and knowledge-sharing activities will be established. Three African ecosystems—the Niger River region (Mali/Nigeria), East Africa (Mozambique), and North Western Africa (Morocco)—are where Emerge will create knowledge communities using a participatory methodology.
