Where Women Lead, Capital Follows: Inside WomHub’s Green Economy Investor Event

Inside the Sandton event, connecting powerful female climate innovators with investors ready to fund a sustainable future.

In a world where innovation is no longer just about profit but also about purpose, WomHub is stepping up as one of Johannesburg’s most influential platforms for gendered green growth. On Thursday, 7 August, they’ll host their latest Financier and Investor Ecosystem Event at their Sandton headquarters, and if you’re even remotely interested in the future of climate-tech and women-led ventures in South Africa, this is not something you want to miss.

But this isn’t just another corporate mixer. It’s a full-on matchmaking session for investment-ready female founders and the funders who want to back them. Think power pitches, curated “deal rooms,” rapid-fire networking, and real-time investment talks, all focused on Africa’s Green Economy.

From Climate Goals to Capital Gains

Why investors are turning to women in STEM to build a greener Africa.

WomHub’s upcoming event isn’t happening in a vacuum. With global attention on sustainable solutions and gender-lens investing gaining real traction, this gathering hits at the intersection of urgency and opportunity.

The event will feature some of the continent’s most promising female STEM entrepreneurs who are tackling everything from circular supply chains to clean energy distribution. These aren’t just pitch decks. These are bold, scalable solutions crafted by women already changing their communities and ready to scale.

Expect a full spectrum of conversations, from market insights via expert panels to direct introductions with founders during the “Green Deal Sprint,” a speed-networking session that’s fast, focused, and investor-specific.

From Sandton to the Continent

A local address with continental ambition.

Held at 5 Wessel Road in Sandton, WomHub’s HQ has become more than just a space. It’s a launchpad for impact-driven innovation. With its history of championing women in STEM across the continent, WomHub isn’t just facilitating connections; it’s actively designing the ecosystem.

Their model focuses on strategic matchmaking, meaning they don’t just throw you in a room and hope for the best. You’ll meet founders solving real climate challenges and walk away with tangible investment conversations already underway.

For attendees, it’s about more than networking. It’s about stepping into a growing movement where female-led businesses are recognised not as niche, but as essential to a sustainable Africa.

Social and Industry Buzz

What insiders and attendees are saying.

While the event is invite-driven, the online chatter is heating up.
Investors and founders alike are already tagging WomHub on LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter), calling the gathering “a milestone moment for inclusive green investment.”

One founder wrote, “WomHub doesn’t just talk about ecosystem; they build it. Can’t wait to pitch to real people making real decisions.”

And from the investment side: “This is the kind of pipeline we’ve been waiting for: diverse, local, and impact-first.”

Why It Matters

The green economy isn’t gender neutral.

In South Africa, climate finance is growing. But women still receive a disproportionately small slice of venture capital. WomHub is shifting that narrative by ensuring female entrepreneurs are front and centre when innovation dollars are moving.

By directly linking capital to climate-smart, women-led ventures, this event isn’t just networking; it’s systemic change.
