We are excited to announce our partnership with the Edo State Government to launch an amazing startup initiative, made possible with the generous support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This initiative aims to strengthen the digital solutions ecosystem in Edo State by promoting innovation and entrepreneurship.
We have two distinct programs in place to support startups.
- The first program, called Inclusion-Focused Support, is specifically designed for 30 diverse startups with underrepresented founders and teams, with a special focus on women. Each of these startups will receive $10,000 in funding to fuel their growth and success.
- The second program, known as the Innovation Challenge, is aimed at 20 tech startups with groundbreaking ideas and products that cater to the unique needs and challenges of the Edo State market. These startups will receive $20,000 in funding each, enabling them to enhance and expand their operations.
