Welcome to the Kenya-focused program dedicated to fostering climate solutions and entrepreneurial growth! Based in the Nairobi Climate Hub, this initiative is spearheaded by SNDBX International, in collaboration with Halcyon House, Kenyatta University and the US Department of State for Global Partnerships offering a dynamic platform for entrepreneur development, innovation and sustainability.

Over two years, our program aims to empower 40 ventures, with 20 climate entrepreneurs joining each year from various regions of Kenya. SNDBX is committed to designing a program deeply rooted in sustainability, with a focus on people, planet, purpose, and profits forming the cornerstone of our approach.

Our program will be based on a thorough background audit to pinpoint and resolve issues within specified modules, offering customised training, coaching, and implementation assistance. Covering vital topics like business modeling, financial management, marketing, and sustainability, our modules feature interactive classroom sessions and individual coaching.
