• Build a long-term mentoring relationship with an assigned entrepreneur or team
• Share insights on business strategy, product development, fundraising, and market growth
• Participate in occasional workshops, pitch sessions, or training activities
• Support entrepreneurs in navigating the Moroccan and broader African energy market

Desirable Qualities

• Demonstrated experience in working with startups or innovation ecosystems
• Strong understanding of the challenges and opportunities across the African continent. Familiarity with the Moroccan energy and sustainability ecosystem is considered as a plus
• Strong communication and public speaking skills
• Willingness to commit over time and contribute meaningfully to an entrepreneur’s journey
• Passion for sustainable development and renewable energy

Why Join Us?
This is an opportunity to make a real impact by shaping the next generation of clean energy entrepreneurs in Morocco. You will join a vibrant network of experts and changemakers while contributing your expertise to ventures that aim to drive environmental and economic progress.

If you are interested in mentoring with us, please submit your CV and a brief statement of motivation (max 1 page) outlining your relevant experience and interest in supporting emerging entrepreneurs in the renewable energy sector.
