Why ICTP
WHY ICTP?
Africa's rapidly growing population, increasing urbanization, and improving living standards are driving unprecedented demand for energy, equipment, and appliances, particularly cooling technologies. At the same time, many African industries face significant challenges in modernizing production processes, with limited access to advanced technologies, innovative solutions, and modern equipment constraining industrial competitiveness. These challenges are further compounded by barriers to decarbonization, including restricted access to clean technologies and insufficient financing to support the transition.
