Mining fuels economies, but unsafe practices, environmental damage, and opaque supply chains continue to harm workers and communities. This initiative calls on bold startups to reimagine the mining value chain — making it safer, cleaner, and more transparent while unlocking opportunities for local development.
Selected ventures will receive structured incubation, mentorship, investor access, and a continental founder network to accelerate solutions in areas such as mine safety technology, artisanal mining formalization, mineral traceability, climate resilience, and battery innovation. Women‑led and youth‑led startups, as well as founders from underserved or mining‑affected communities, are especially encouraged to apply.
Applicants must demonstrate a working prototype or MVP, a committed team, and a clear problem‑solving approach within the mining sector.
💡 Support available — incubation, mentorship, and investor access for African startups tackling mining challenges.
