Clean Cooking Technologies - Hope Fund
Professional skills
The first edition of Hope Fund attracted more than 150 applicants, ultimately selecting over 10 standout initiatives. These selected entrepreneurs received tailored mentorship focused on helping them craft strategies for scaling their solutions. The applications are evaluated based on their performance in key areas such as environmental and social impact, innovation, long-term viability, and potential for growth.
Based in Italy, Clean Cooking Technologies operates primarily in Africa and is now expanding into Latin America after being among the initiatives assessed and chosen for funding support by the EDP Hope Fun. The company focuses on tackling climate change through the use of innovative technologies that positively impact both health and the environment.
Its solution, CleKoo, is an efficient, IoT-enabled smart induction stove that eliminates the reliance on biomass for cooking. This contributes to better health outcomes by reducing indoor air pollution, helps families earn carbon credits, and provides financial advantages. Additionally, the initiative supports local job creation by prioritizing the assembly of the stoves within the communities it serves.
