How can we design economic systems that remain resilient in the future?
Across Africa and Europe, societies and markets are facing profound challenges. Climate change, water scarcity, rising energy demand, fragile supply chains, food security, and resource constraints call for new answers — and for people ready to actively drive change.

The AGYLE 2026 Call for Applications addresses young leaders and entrepreneurs who are developing innovative solutions in key GreenTech fields, including renewable energy, climate and agri-tech, water and resource management, and sustainable mobility. We are looking for individuals who combine environmental impact with economic scalability and social value creation, and who are active across African and European markets.

AGYLE 2026 brings together a diverse group of young leaders and entrepreneurs who see technological innovation as a powerful lever for sustainable transformation. The programme creates space for exchange, joint learning, and strategic development, with the aim of rethinking responsible growth and fair value creation across regions.

Within this context, AGYLE explores key questions such as:
How can technological innovation effectively address current and future environmental and societal challenges? How can companies measure environmental impact while achieving sustainable economic growth? And which skills, partnerships, and enabling conditions empower young leaders to drive lasting, sustainable transformation?
