The GreenScale Zambia Launch marked the official introduction of the GreenScale Zambia Incubator & Accelerator Programme—a transformative initiative designed to identify, support, and scale innovative Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) driving Zambia’s green and circular economy.

The launch brought together entrepreneurs, development partners, government representatives, private sector stakeholders, financial institutions, and ecosystem partners to showcase the programme’s vision of accelerating businesses that are creating sustainable solutions while contributing to economic growth and environmental stewardship.

The event provided participants with an overview of the programme’s objectives, application process, and the opportunities available to successful enterprises, including business development support, technical coaching, mentorship, market linkages, investment readiness, and access to funding opportunities.

The launch also served as a platform to introduce the concept of the circular economy, demonstrating how businesses across various sectors—from recycling and agriculture to manufacturing, sanitation, and resource recovery—are already creating value through circular business models.

Beyond introducing the programme, the event encouraged collaboration among ecosystem actors and inspired entrepreneurs to see the circular economy not only as an environmental solution but also as a pathway to innovation, job creation, and sustainable business growth.

As the flagship event of the programme, the GreenScale Zambia Launch laid the foundation for a new generation of entrepreneurs committed to building resilient, competitive, and impact-driven businesses that contribute to Zambia’s transition towards a greener, more inclusive, and circular economy
