Applications are now open for the 2026 RICH Hub Climate AI Innovation. The Research & Innovation for Climate (RICH) Hub is inviting African climate AI innovators, researchers, startups, organizations, and solution developers to express their interest in joining its growing pipeline of innovations advancing climate resilience across Africa.

Climate change poses significant challenges to Africa’s sustainable development. While artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven technologies offer new opportunities to strengthen climate resilience, many promising innovations face barriers to adoption, implementation, and scale.

Through this Expression of Interest , the RICH Hub seeks to identify promising climate AI innovations that are already being tested in real-world settings and have the potential to deliver meaningful impact in African contexts.
