The project "Building Waste and Circular Enterprises in Ethiopia" is a 3-year catalytic innovation and green business incubation program in partnership with the IKEA Foundation within the nationwide program “Ethiopia’s Green Future” that focuses on facilitating a just transition and youth employment through green entrepreneurship.

The program consists of two main components: the Green Business Incubator and the Green Innovation Lab, and aims to develop an ecosystem that can support the growth of waste management and circular enterprises. Each component has specific focus areas and delivery approaches.

Through the partnership with the IKEA Foundation, we aim to: 

1. Support 75 entrepreneurs with innovative ideas to modernize and enhance waste management and Ethiopia’s circular economy over five (5) cohorts through the Green Innovation Lab to develop and validate their minimum viable products (MVPs). 

2. Support a total of 30 waste management and circular enterprises over three (3) cohorts to develop sustainable business models and improved business processes and practices for optimum revenue generation and business growth through the Green Business Incubator.
