Key Takeaways
Following its launch in Uganda, BG Titan Group plans to expand the Titan E-Farms model to Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda. This comes amid a significant rise in Climate Tech funding, which has increased from $340 million in 2019 to $1.1 billion in 2023. The trend continues in 2024, with African climate tech startups receiving $325 million so far. Investors are showing increased commitment to the industry. However, success is not guaranteed. Despite the funding boom, some startups face challenges. For instance, South African climate startup Hohm Energy has begun liquidation due to financial difficulties, even after securing $8 million in February 2024 and $12 million over two years. This highlights the complex landscape of the growing clean energy sector in Africa.
