What is the Pitch Corner?

The Pitch Corner is a unique space, at the heart of the event, allowing project leaders to present their initiatives for 15 minutes as part of the Conference.

  • Enrich the programme of the Climate Chance Africa 2025 Summit with initiatives that will have the opportunity to be presented at the Pitch Corner. The Pitch Corner takes place at the heart of the event and provides visibility for players carrying remarkable projects or initiatives.
  • Feed the Cartography of action and highlight the remarkable initiatives taking place in Africa.
    Strengthen multi-stakeholder engagement

Be a non-state actor: local authorities and communities, businesses, associations, trade unions, professional federations, non-governmental organisations, scientific bodies, donors, actors engaged in sustainable and inclusive mobility as well as climate action in African cities, youth and women’s organisations, transport stakeholders, etc.
  2. Have a project taking place on the African continent.
  3. Have an innovative project ongoing that can be replicated on the largest scale on one of the following themes :
