Green Scene Energy is representing Ethiopian clean-tech manufacturing this week in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, at the African Union Commission (AUC) SME Forum, held alongside the Joint 9th AU Specialized Technical Committee (STC) on Finance and the 5th STC on Trade, Industry and Minerals.
Under the theme “Financing Africa’s Industrialization for Sustainable Development”, Green Scene Energy was selected to pitch its local manufacturing model and hybrid energy solutions directly to African ministers, development financiers and senior AU officials.
“Every assembly line built at home creates skilled jobs, keeps value on the continent, and speeds up the energy transition from within.”
Green Scene Energy’s message to the forum
A working answer to the financing question
Our message is a simple one. Clean-tech manufacturing done locally, like our TOLO induction stove facility in Addis Ababa and its target of 1 million stoves by 2035, is a working answer to the call for financing Africa’s industrialisation.
The forum caps a season of international engagement for Green Scene Energy, following our participation in a business delegation to Germany on technology transfer and manufacturing partnerships, and our founder’s selection as a finalist for the LinkedIn Changemaker Awards Ethiopia 2026.
