U.S. backed Coalition for Climate Entrepreneurship Opens Center in Morocco

The Coalition for Climate Entrepreneurship (CCE) has opened a center in Marrakesh thanks to collaboration between the U.S. Department of State and the Near East Foundation with support from the Elsa & Peter Soderberg Charitable Foundation and Islamic Relief USA.
The CCE Hub will provide climate-focused entrepreneurs access to the hardware, software, community, and resources they need to scale their ventures and bring low-carbon solutions to market.
Over the next 24 months, the CCE Marrakesh chapter will engage dozens of companies from the MENA region, said U.S. State Department in a press release issued Thursday.
From December 11-15, the CCE Hub hosted an incubator for emerging entrepreneurs, which included interactive workshops, coaching sessions, and project presentations by innovative start-ups.
By tackling global issues such as the climate crisis and skills-building, programming within CCE Hub Morocco looks to forge a future in which innovation works in tandem with generating positive environmental and social impact.
The CCE was launched by U.S. State Department at COP26 in Glasgow as a public- private partnership with private sector partners. It aims to address the climate crisis and contribute to economic empowerment in developing countries by nurturing entrepreneurship focused on climate solutions.
