Description<\/b><\/h2>\n

SESA aims to test, validate and later replicate scalable energy solutions in multiple locations supported by solid business models and partnerships between African and European stakeholders. SESA focuses on innovation within the three areas of (1) energy access, (2) productive use and (3) circular economy.<\/p>\n

The uptake of new solutions and business models requires close cooperation between innovative entrepreneurs, local enterprises, industry, city administrations and research and academic institutions. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises can play a key role in this process through the provision of their innovative products or services and by having a positive social as well as environmental impact on their communities.<\/p>\n

With the acceptance that energy access and productive use are strongly correlated with economic development, this first SESA Call for Entrepreneurs focuses primarily on\u00a0Productive Use of Energy (PUE) solutions in Ghana, Malawi, Morocco and South Africa<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Country Challenges<\/b><\/h2>\n

The below country challenges provide further information on thematic and regional focus per country. For more details on the selection and evaluation process, please have a look at ourapplication guidelines.<\/a><\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

Country Challenge Ghana<\/h3>\n
\n

Demand for energy in Ghana is increasing by ten per cent per year, requiring increased generating capacity. Ghana is focused on the development of electrical and other alternative fuel sources, with the aim to also reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. We believe that biomass-to-energy and\/or waste-to-energy solutions hold a huge potential for Ghana with potential for environmental and social benefits.<\/p>\n

To support these efforts, Siemens Stiftung on behalf of the SESA Consortium is looking for\u00a0Ghanaian local innovators, start-ups and entrepreneurs to collaborate with SESA Partners in Ghana in promoting successful Productive Use of Energy approaches.<\/b><\/p>\n

Productive Use of Energy<\/b>\u00a0refers to energy use that creates value, for example, increased productivity or income, job creation, or overall improvements to welfare in form of freeing up time and reducing effort and labour.<\/p>\n

Fundable solutions fall within the following categories:<\/p>\n
