The Korea-Africa Foundation held a results event on November 12 for its 2026 Global Accelerating in Africa climate tech program. Seven domestic startups completed the program in Kenya and South Africa. The event reviewed their local business results.
Deals and local sales
The startups signed eight MOUs, two LOIs, and one nondisclosure agreement. They also reported two local sales and one intellectual property filing. The foundation used its diplomatic network to arrange government meetings and connect startups with international organization projects.
Program structure
The Ministry of SMEs and Startups led the cross-government program. The Korea Institute of Startup and Entrepreneurship Development served as the expert agency. The Korea-Africa Foundation operated the four-week accelerator that began in August.
Follow-up activity
Five startups continued discussions through voluntary follow-up business trips. One company hired local staff. Participants also shared future market entry roadmaps and explored collaboration opportunities.
The foundation plans to pursue follow-up support for the startups. It confirmed strong demand for additional programs during the event. The aim is to help companies build sustainable growth and achieve practical global results.
