Throughout a period of six months, Delta40 hosted a program, funded by the Foundation, designed to identify and support transformative circular economy ventures on the African continent.
Delta40 is in the arena with founders on the frontlines in Africa every day. The Delta team consists of experienced founders, that have history of building resilient ventures.
“We see a need for local founders to receive venture development support, funding opportunities, and strategic guidance. By funding this program and establishing a close collaboration with Delta40, we hope to drive innovations that create jobs, foster economic growth, enhance climate resilience, and reduce emissions,’’ says Line Boss, Impact Director at BESTSELLER Foundation.
A summit of inspiration
The program culminated in a scale summit bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, corporates and policy leaders to explore how we can accelerate circular solutions across Africa’s most vital sectors.
From thought-provoking plenary discussions and hands-on workshops, to curated deal rooms and venture pitches, the energy in the room reflected a shared commitment to turning waste into value, scaling sustainable systems and driving regenerative impact in our communities.
The summit sparked:
- Concrete public–private collaborations with clear next steps.
- Investor interest in early- and growth-stage circular ventures.
- Access to new data and insights from leading research partners.
- A stronger network of changemakers driving Africa’s circular future.
