Welcome to Part 2 of Pollinate Impact’s Climate Incubation State of Play Series - this session dives deep into the state of electric mobility (e-mobility) and the vital role impact incubators and ecosystem builders are playing in shaping the future of sustainable transport across the Global South.
Titled “Driving Innovation in Electric Mobility”, this dynamic convening was hosted by Ruod, Community Choreographer at Pollinate Impact, and brought together powerful insights from two expert speakers:
🔹 Sebastian from Siemens Stiftung (Germany) - shared lessons from piloting and scaling e-mobility solutions in Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, and Nigeria through targeted R&D support, localized prototyping, and ecosystem knowledge sharing.
🔹 Ashish Garde from MAGIC (India) - highlighted India’s growing EV ecosystem, public-private common facility centers, and MAGIC’s end-to-end support for e-mobility startups, including funding, compliance, industry partnerships, and IPR facilitation.
🎯 Whether you are an impact incubator, startup, funder, policymaker, or ecosystem enabler, this session offers actionable insights on:
What e-mobility entrepreneurs truly need to succeed
Tackling capital-intensive challenges & technical barriers
Opportunities for cross-border incubator collaborations
Piloting, scaling, and localizing innovative mobility solutions
Building a full-stack support ecosystem for sustainable transport
💬 The session also features lively Q&A, ecosystem check-ins via Mentimeter, and powerful takeaways from the community - including the importance of patience, collaboration, localized knowledge, and ecosystem thinking in driving real impact in the e-mobility space.
