by admin-anb

Five Kenyan clean-tech startups have been selected to take part in the third edition of the NINJA Accelerator, which will provide them with tailored support to solidify their businesses and access to international mentoring, networking, and fundraising opportunities, including a roadshow to Japan.

Project NINJA is an initiative of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), aimed at continuously and autonomously creating and nurturing startups. Partners in implementing the NINJA Accelerator include Double Feather Partners, Deloitte, GrowthAfrica, and the Kenya National Innovation Agency (KeNIA).

After two previous editions, five post-revenue Kenyan clean-tech startups have now been selected to take part in a 12-week programme, which equips founders with the necessary tools to increase their readiness for partnerships and investments, enabling them to enhance their businesses and scale effectively within the Kenyan market.

They are lease-to-own solar-enhanced cold-storage solution Baridi, e-bike manufacturer Mazi Mobility, clean cooking gas provider MegaGas, last-mile soil-testing solution Ycenter Shambah Solutions, and waste recycling service Timao Group.

“We are thrilled to launch this third cohort as another testament to our commitment to fostering innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurship in Kenya, against the backdrop of the 60th anniversary of Kenya-Japan diplomatic relations, and in support of the vision set forth by the Kenya National Innovation Agency,” said Hajime Iwama, chief representative from JICA Kenya.
