The Sustainable Development Hub
Goal is to help startups to find collaboration and co-creation partners in the new markets and set the ground for potential scaling in the region.
The program will run for 6 months and will consist of a variety of hybrid formats focusing primarily on business development.
WHAT WE ARE Looking for
For our next batch we are looking for impact- and technology-driven startups incorporated in Europe. With their ready-for-market solution they should aim to explore the opportunities in Africa and to look for relevant partners in the region.
The main criteria for selecting are:
- innovativeness of the solution
- contribution to Sustainable Development Goals
- fit to the local realities of the target countries
In the following editions of our program, we are planning to expand our global reach and open our services to startups coming from regions beyond Europe. We will also consistently work on extending our offer with more opportunities for tech entrepreneurs contributing to SDGs.
WHAT WE ARE Offering
In the first edition we focus on startups aiming to validate their solution in African region, where we partner up with local entrepreneurial hubs to deliver a comprehensive soft-landing package.
Our offer to entrepreneurs includes:
- support in creating and executing a working business and impact strategy and modifying existing business models to fit the selected target market
- Individual 1-on-1 support in executing the internationalization strategy to the target market
- Curated field trip to one of our partner countries including co-working space, business development expertise and a dedicated coach supporting you with introductions to the local ecosystem
