The KCIC is a social impact organization dedicated to supporting micro and small enterprises driven by innovation in the climate space. KCIC is implementing the GreenBiz program, which is supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (Danida). The GreenBiz program focuses on climate technologies and innovative business models in five sectors: Water, Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RE & EE), Agriculture, Commercial Forestry, and Waste Management. The program aims to support 300 businesses, creating over
3,000 job opportunities, directly and indirectly contributing to the achievement of SDGs. The program seeks to increase the commercialization and scale-up of climate smart innovations, creating decent jobs, increasing access to low carbon energy sources, and enhancing community and household resilience to climate change. The GreenBiz program offers a range of services including business advisory, mentorship, access to finance and technical assistance. The GreenBiz program aims to recruit mentors (individuals) who will be a
valuable source of guidance, support and knowledge for the GreenBiz clients. It is expected that the mentors will offer insights and technical advice based on their own experiences, which can help the GreenBiz.
