In Kenya, we support the E4Impact Accelerator, a business accelerator programme to promote the market launch of new products, job creation and digitisation of companies. Founded in Nairobi, the initiative selects Kenyan entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs and helps them achieve their business ideas through customised training, start-up financing and professional services, enabling them to connect with local, Italian and international businesses.
In Kenya, we operate in the exploration, agro-industrial and local development sectors. Through a circular economy model, we produce vegetable oil for the Gela and Venice biorefineries for the production of biofuels.
Activity start date: 2018 – present

The business accelerator is promoted by the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart through the E4Impact Foundation, with the support of the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation and Eni.
The selected companies propose projects with quantifiable environmental and social impacts, have a structured entrepreneurial team and offer innovative products and services. In the second phase of the initiative, there are plans to include more companies, to create more partnerships with Italian business associations, and to revise the programme to target different sectors.
Below are some of the sectors of the start-ups that have benefited from the initiative:
● production of natural products and super-fruits
● waste recovery and recycling
● precision agriculture and software development
● production of essential oils, animal feed
● local handicrafts
