Global Partnerships at State Open the Newest Coalition for Climate Entrepreneurship Hub in Morocco
On December 12, a Coalition for Climate Entrepreneurship (CCE) Hub opened in Marrakech’s Emerging Business Factory, through a collaboration between the U.S. Department of State and the Near East Foundation with support from the Elsa & Peter Soderberg Charitable Foundation and Islamic Relief USA. The CCE Hub is a makerspace that will provide climate-focused entrepreneurs access to the hardware, software, community, and resources they need to scale their ventures and bring low-carbon solutions to market. Over the next 24 months the CCE Hub in Marrakech will engage dozens of companies from the MENA region.
From December 11-15, the CCE Hub hosted an incubator for emerging entrepreneurs, which included interactive workshops, coaching sessions, and project presentations by innovative start-ups. On the final day, the most promising start-ups were selected for further mentorship and training. By tackling global issues such as the climate crisis and skills-building, programming within CCE Hub Morocco looks to forge a future in which innovation works in tandem with generating positive environmental and social impact.
