Africa's green tech sector is ready to build.

In the solar energy, e-mobility and climate-smart agriculture sectors, young African innovators are leading here and the question that remains is what is needed to move from deployment to local manufacturing and industrial competitiveness.

Join APRI and the Natural Resource Governance Institute Ghana for a panel session moderated by Dr. Serwah Prempeh (APRI) and expert speakers comprising Patrick Stephenson (NRGI-Ghana), Chibuikem Agbaegbu (APRI), Anaporka Adazabra (Farmio) and Rasheeda Seghosime (Open Capital) on financing, tech transfer, skills, and policy reform at the Africa Centre for Energy Policy Future of Energy Conference 2026 in Accra.

If we know the ingredients needed to industrialise, who brings them together?

Inputs on their own are insufficient. Governance transforms them into an industrial reality.
In our final episode of The Africa Hour we ask Dr. Marit Kitaw, Prof. Faizel Ismail and Dr. Claude Kabemba how can Africa transform its raw minerals into thriving, sustainable societies?

As global demand for critical minerals accelerates in response to the energy transition, Nigeria is positioning its mineral resources as strategic assets to drive green industrialisation.

To support this effort, the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC), in collaboration with APRI – Africa Policy Research Institute and with support from the Ford Foundation, is convening a high-level dialogue on Advancing Nigeria's Green Industrialisation Through Critical Minerals.

How do you know what stage to develop an IP strategy, pitch to investors, source partnerships, and commercialise a protected invention as a founder?

Nathan Yego (KIPI), Chebet Koros (CIPIT) and Keziah Chiomba (AATF) each answered this by pointing to a different stage where innovation is most often lost: at disclosure, at the question of ownership, and at the point of bringing a product to market. Together, their perspectives offer a fuller picture of what it actually takes to protect and scale an idea in Kenya's innovation space.

With nearly a third of all parliamentary seats lacking opposition candidates, the ruling party is poised to secure a dominant majority in Zambia’s legislature. In 15 of these constituencies, the outcome was decided before a single vote was cast. What does this mean for the future of democratic checks and balances in Zambia?

Zambia's ruling party is set to win almost every uncontested seat available.
The opposition didn't lose these races, they never showed up to run them, and now, 15 parliamentary seats have been decided before a single vote was cast, with nearly a third of all constituencies having no real contest at all nationwide.

O’Brien Kaaba breaks this down in the full analysis on Zambia’s 2026 election dynamics linked in bio.

Talking about "equal partnership" with Africa is easy but our new EU fellow questions how easy it is to live up to it in his piece discussing how Europe can no longer assume its historical ties with Africa translate into influence today. Link in bio.

APRI is pleased to welcome François Sennesael as EU Senior Fellow in our Geopolitics and Geoeconomics Programme. Francois brings close to a decade of experience living and working across Africa, and a PhD in Politics from Oxford. At APRI, he'll examine where EU policy still runs on old assumptions, and where genuine, mutually beneficial cooperation is possible.

Welcome to the team, François!

Technology Transfer and Africa's Green Industrialisation: From WTO Limits to Continental Options

We are diving straight into what it will take to convert Africa's green industrial ambitions into actual productive capability, local value addition, and green employment.

An estimated 80% of the buildings and infrastructure that will exist in Africa by 2050 hasn’t been built yet .

To close this gap, demand for cement is forecasted to surge - and many African countries are home to the vast limestone reserves needed to fuel the boom.

Yet a paradox persists: despite the resource abundance and domestic demand, it is easier to fund mineral extraction than the industries that add value to them.

In our latest episode of The Africa Hour podcast, we unpack the continent’s industrial financing landscape, tackling the critical bottlenecks, emerging innovations and progress driving industrialization forward.
