Siemens Stiftung R&D Project Proposal for E-Mobility in Kenya |
Calling All Innovators in E-Mobility!
Are you tackling exciting challenges related to the acceptability, affordability, or accessibility of e-mobility in Kenya? Is your solution driving the transition toward e-mobility while creating a positive social or ecological impact, including considerations for sustainability and climate? If so, we want to hear from you!
Siemens Stiftung is looking for enterprises pioneering tailored solutions in the emerging e-mobility sector in Kenya, focusing on two key areas: E-Mobility for Impact and Sustainability and Climate.
We are supporting pilot projects with funding opportunities of USD 30,000 to 50,000 for single applications and USD 70,000 for joint applications to help transform the transport sector into a sustainable, low-carbon ecosystem.
Whether you are a single enterprise or part of a collaborative initiative, we encourage you to apply!

Focus Areas:
E-Mobility for Impact: We are seeking applications that enhance the acceptability, accessibility, and affordability of e-mobility:
- Acceptability: Create customer-centric products, services, or business models that resonate with user needs;
- Accessibility: Develop solutions that cater to diverse customer segments, ensuring inclusivity for all;
- Affordability: Balance cost-effectiveness with substantial value to make e-mobility solutions accessible to a wider audience.
Sustainability and Climate: We are also seeking projects that emphasize environmental sustainability in e-mobility. Solutions under this topic focus on efficiency, such as solar-powered charging stations, or recycling and circularity of e-mobility components like batteries.
Applications targeting specific groups, such as female users or communities outside the Nairobi metropolitan area, are especially encouraged.
