Applications are now open for the 2026 Future of Energy Conference (FEC) Innovation Challenge. The Future of Energy Conference (FEC) 2026 invites you to apply for its Innovation Challenge. This platform highlights, supports, and accelerates low-carbon and energy solutions tailored for Africa. If you are working on sustainable energy access, clean cooking, circular economy ideas, or lithium-ion battery innovation, this is your chance to present your solution at one of Africa’s top energy events.

The process ends with a Final Pitch Event at FEC 2026 in Accra, Ghana, on August 25 and 26, 2026.

Requirements

• African nationals aged 15 to 35, whether living on the continent or abroad, can apply at any stage from a working model to a pilot-tested concept.

Benefits

• Winners will receive more than just recognition.
• Finalists will present their ideas to over 1,000 policymakers, investors, and industry leaders.
• They will also have access to cash prizes, mentorship, and incubation support through ACEP’s Climate Innovation Hub, while keeping full intellectual property rights over their innovations.

Tracks

The Challenge has two tracks.

• Track 1, the Pan-African Low Carbon Innovation Track, welcomes a wide range of practical and disruptive ideas in power systems, digital energy, industrial energy, and more.
• Track 2, the Afro-Hackathon Track, focuses on lithium-ion battery design, applications, and value chain development, with support from partners like AUDA-NEPAD, AMDC, Africa Change Lab, and UNDP. Both tracks use a multi-stage selection process, including application review, virtual interviews, and an Innovathon that includes a case series.
