Siemens Stiftung and GIZ are looking for 3-5 Kenyan enterprises to conduct research and development (R&D) projects for up to 12 months. The aim is to develop effective market-based solutions and increase the social and ecological impact of e-mobility. The contract value ranges between 30.000 and 50.000 USD for individual applications and up to 70.000 USD for joint applications.
We are seeking pilot projects driving the transition towards a sustainable, low-carbon transport sector in underserviced areas or underserved customer segments and showing high potential for social or environmental impact. These initiatives can either come from single enterprises or joint initiatives.
The selected applications are expected to deliver a research report demonstrating the applied methodology, research results, and analysis of the financial sustainability of the tested solution, and core learnings. Sensitive data and intellectual property rights can be considered during the contracting process. Siemens Stiftung and GIZ intend to publish the results through reports and digital events. The form of publication and dissemination will be discussed together with the participating ventures. The idea of dissemination is to encourage other ecosystem players to replicate and learn from the results.
