Twende Green Planet was honoured to host Anton Shumeyko, Chief Operating Officer, and Nick Symons, Chief Technology Officer, of Vantra.xyz, London, in Nairobi. The meeting focused on strategic partnership, innovation and Africa’s sustainable future, and it is a partnership in progress.
Our discussions explored opportunities for collaboration as we build towards our 3rd–5th December 2026 event, a key milestone in our journey to bring together organisations, innovators, investors and environmental leaders committed to creating lasting change.
Why this partnership matters
Africa stands at the intersection of extraordinary environmental potential and growing technological opportunity. By connecting global expertise with African-led initiatives, we can explore new ways to accelerate climate action, strengthen blue carbon conservation, restore mangrove ecosystems and empower communities along our coastlines.
We believe the future of environmental sustainability will be shaped by partnerships that go beyond conversations, combining technology, innovation, investment and local knowledge to deliver measurable impact.
What the engagement represents
Our engagement with Vantra represents an exciting opportunity to explore how shared ambitions can translate into practical solutions, stronger international networks, and new possibilities for Africa’s green and blue economies. It reflects our commitment to building relationships that open doors to fresh ideas, shared expertise and new opportunities for collaboration.
The journey to December has begun
As we prepare for 3rd–5th December, we are opening our doors to more strategic partners, development organisations, technology innovators, investors and sustainability champions who share our vision. The event is the Blue Carbon Action Legacy Programme: Civil Society, Business and Community Dinner and NGO Summit Awards. Read about the December event.
