Innovation Program

Posted on January 1, 1970 by Admin

We are currently running the Uzuzi Hub Innovation Pitch Competition in partnership with GEC+ Africa. We have a structured innovation pipeline to identify, develop, and elevate high-potential startups and MSMEs from across Kenya and the wider African ecosystem.
We believe many of the startups within ACIH's network are exactly who this program is designed for.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
→ Tech Startups at pre-seed or seed stage with at least an MVP
→ MSMEs that are already generating revenue
→ Startups operating in at least one African country

WHAT PARTICIPANTS GET
-Innovation Mentorship — Innovation, Project Management & Business Modeling sessions (June)
-Uzuzi Agile Masterclass — 4-module startup scaling program (July & August cohorts)
-National Pitch Competition — 10 shortlisted teams pitch before investors and industry leaders (July)
