    Clean Cooking Investor Showcase 2026

    Intellecap is pleased to invite you to its second Clean Cooking Investor Showcase, taking place on Wednesday, 15th July 2026. This showcase is hosted under Unlocking Climate Finance for Women & Girls in Africa, an initiative supported by International Development Research Centre (IDRC), implemented by Intellecap, which seeks to accelerate the adoption and usage of clean and modern cooking solutions in low-income communities in climate-fragile ecosystems, including rural regions, informal urban settlements, and displaced migrant and refugee communities, by unlocking climate finance (including carbon finance) for the direct benefit of women and girls.

    The showcase aims to accelerate the adoption of clean cooking solutions in low-income, climate-fragile communities by unlocking climate finance, including carbon finance, for the direct benefit of women and girls. The event will bring together investors, development finance institutions, and ecosystem partners to share insights from the Clean Cooking Investor Playbook and GI-ROI Framework, showcase high-potential clean cooking business models in Africa, discuss pathways to increased investment and deal flow, gather investor feedback to strengthen enterprise investment readiness, and provide opportunities to network with investors, entrepreneurs, and other ecosystem stakeholders.
