Korea-Africa Innovation Connect (Networking Event)

​Join us for a curated cocktail networking evening hosted as part of the 2026 Korea-Africa Foundation Global Market Expansion Programme (KAF–GMEP), bringing together seven high-potential Korean climate-tech startups to connect with investors, government leaders, corporates, development partners, researchers, and innovators from across South Africa's green economy ecosystem.

​This is a rare opportunity to be part of something that matters. The Korean startups arriving in Johannesburg this August are working at the frontier of clean industrial technology, battery innovation, climate intelligence, agricultural traceability, solar recycling, and climate-smart agriculture, and they have identified South Africa as their most important African market. They are here not just to showcase what they have built, but to find the right South African partners to build with.

​The evening will give participants a platform to meet the cohort directly, gain insight into the technologies shaping Korea's green economy, and explore real opportunities for market entry, technology localisation, pilot implementation, co-investment, research collaboration, and long-term commercial partnership.

​If you are working at the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and economic opportunity in South Africa, this is the room to be in.

​Spaces are limited and attendance is by invitation.

​A Korea-Africa Foundation (KAF) initiative delivered by RIIS and Impact Hub Nairobi.
