African tech-oriented startups looking to scale through corporate and public sector partnerships are invited to participate in the African Startup Initiative Program – ASIP Accelerator Program.
Designed to support early-stage startups through intensive coaching and opportunities for pilots and Proof of Concept projects that subsequently open the doors for longer-term commercial agreements, Africa Startup Initiative Program is founded by Moh Damush, Telecel Group CEO as a CSR activity.
The Group partnered with Startupbootcamp AfriTech to create the ASIP Accelerator Program which focuses on ensuring the success of young African startups whose innovative ideas are creating a difference in their communities.
The program also receives partnership from the Government of Senegal, through DER/FJ, a youth and women empowerment structure set up by the President of the Republic of Senegal. With the help of DER/FJ startups will gain public-sector knowledge and support which presents an opportunity to further scale their impact.
Benefits
10 selected startups will receive benefits valued at over €500,000, including credits from AWS, Google Cloud Services, Hubspot, and many more. ASIP Accelerator also invests €15,000 in cash to each startup.
Eligibility
African startups disrupting industry sectors including AgriTech & Supply Chain, IoT & Connectivity, Machine Learning (Data Analytics), Cybersecurity, CleanTech and RegTech are eligible to apply.
The Program takes a hybrid format and begins in Dakar, culminating in a physical Demo Day where startup founders pitch their disruptive solutions to a broad audience of media, investors, corporate partners, and industry stakeholders.
How to apply
To scale your startup to the next level and achieve sustainable growth and development, apply before the deadline on Friday, November 11, 2022.
