FT/MIGA Africa Sustainable Futures Awards 2026
The initiative FT/MIGA Africa Sustainable Futures Awards 2026 This award represents a crucial milestone in recognizing and promoting innovative and transformative projects across the African continent. This prestigious prize, a collaboration between the Financial Times (FT) and the World Bank's Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), aims to highlight ventures that not only demonstrate economic viability but also align with the principles of sustainable development, addressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges. Cape Verde, with its unique geography and ambitions for green growth, is in a privileged position to submit applications that resonate with the objectives of this distinction.
The focus of the awards on “Sustainable Futures” underscores the importance of long-term solutions that promote resilience and prosperity. The aim is to celebrate projects that offer a replicable and scalable model capable of generating a positive impact on a large scale. From renewable energy and sustainable agriculture to digital solutions for social inclusion and climate-resilient infrastructure, the areas of application are vast, but all converge on the need for a more equitable and sustainable future for Africa. Selected projects will not only receive international recognition and media visibility, but may also benefit from funding opportunities and networking with investors and policymakers.
Participating in the FT/MIGA Africa Sustainable Futures Awards 2026 offers a unique opportunity for Cape Verde to consolidate its position as a leading archipelago in innovation and sustainability. Cape Verdean companies, organizations, and initiatives developing pioneering solutions in the areas of energy transition, water resource management, circular economy, sustainable tourism, or climate adaptation are strongly encouraged to explore this avenue. Submitting applications will not only showcase projects with the potential to transform the national economic landscape but will also serve as a catalyst to attract investment and specialized knowledge, thus strengthening the country's resilience and innovation capacity in the face of global challenges.
