Jacob's Ladder Africa (JLA), a continental non-governmental organization driving green solutions and climate innovation, has hosted its highly anticipated Greenlabs Demo Day, with the aim of providing cutting-edge climate solutions from emerging entrepreneurs and addressing environmental challenges across East Africa.
JLA, renowned for its youth-centric approach to sustainability, is on a mission to catalyze 30 million green jobs across Africa by 2033 and through socio-economic programs, advocacy, and entrepreneurial incubation, the organization empowers youth to become active contributors to the continent's green economy.
The Demo Day was the grand finale of the Powering Food Systems Innovation Challenge, a hackathon-style competition exploring how renewable energy can revolutionize food systems.
During the event, participants tackled challenges in food production, processing, transportation and waste management with innovations that integrate sustainable energy such as smart energy systems.
