CSR & Green Transition: Comité Vert Guinée Brings Together Changemakers for FOTEC 2026

Extreme heatwaves, recurring floods in areas such as Forécariah, uncontrolled waste management and growing urban sanitation issues — climate change is no longer a distant concept in Guinea. Its effects are now visible in everyday life. Faced with these realities, the response can no longer rely solely on governments and institutions. The private sector, entrepreneurs and citizens must also become part of the solution.

This is precisely the mission embraced by Comité Vert Guinée.

Originally launched in France by its founder “Lady GREEN,” a specialist in circular economy and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), the initiative first emerged as a digital awareness platform focused on environmental education and sustainable development.

Today, the project is entering a new phase.

Comité Vert Guinée is evolving into a full-scale CSR and sustainability support platform for both public and private stakeholders in Guinea. Through its digital ecosystem, the organization now offers educational resources, CSR webinars, sustainability toolkits and its innovative “Quarter-Hour CSR” initiative designed to integrate Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the daily operations of local businesses.

FOTEC 2026: Guinea’s flagship green innovation event

To bring this vision into concrete action, Comité Vert Guinée is co-organizing the Ecological Transition Fair of Guinea (FOTEC 2026).

On June 5, 2026 World Environment Day Bluezone Kaloum will become one of West Africa’s key meeting points for sustainability, green entrepreneurship and ecological innovation.

Open to the public from 9 AM to 6 PM with free admission, the event is designed as more than just a conference or awareness campaign. FOTEC aims to function as a practical action hub where entrepreneurs, institutions, artisans, startups, students and community leaders collaborate around real-world environmental solutions.

Supported by its official ambassador Aissata Kaporo Soumah, the event seeks to mobilize a new generation of Guinean changemakers ready to combine economic growth with environmental responsibility.

A new entrepreneurial ecosystem is emerging

One of the strongest signals surrounding FOTEC 2026 is the strategic alliance between the fair and the Student Entrepreneurs Fair (SEE). This partnership reflects a deeper shift in mindset across Guinea’s business ecosystem.

Environmental responsibility is no longer viewed as a limitation to economic growth. It is increasingly becoming a powerful driver of innovation, competitiveness and job creation.

From waste collection and recycling initiatives to sustainable urban infrastructure and responsible industrial practices, the opportunities linked to the green economy are expanding rapidly.

For Guinean businesses, the message is becoming impossible to ignore: tomorrow’s market leaders will be those capable of combining profitability, innovation and positive environmental impact.
