South African climate-tech startup Plentify has closed an oversubscribed funding round, the amount of which remains undisclosed, from top African and North American venture investors to support its growth in South Africa and initiate international expansion.

Plentify is a smart energy company that aims to make affordable, reliable, and clean electricity accessible to everyone by integrating advanced hardware, artificial intelligence, and user-centric design.

Key Takeaways

In Africa, there is a growing preference for cleaner solutions among the populace, with Africans displaying a strong inclination towards green technologies such as solar-PV and electric vehicles. This trend is particularly noticeable in countries like Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt, and some Maghreb states. Despite a 22% decline in the overall funding amount for the climate tech sector between 2022 and 2023 (falling from $1.6 billion to $1.2 billion), Partech Africa trackers indicate a modest increase in the number of debt deals – rising from 71 in 2022 to 74 in 2023. This suggests a continued resilience and attractiveness of the climate tech sector, reflecting a sustained commitment to sustainable solutions in the face of evolving market dynamics.
