They will be linked to some of the fastest-moving corporates on the continent in order to learn how to scale their solutions for the global market.

The chosen league will enter a three-month accelerator programme with Startupbootcamp and its family of industry-focused accelerators. Their reward consists of mentorship and industry access to corporate partners and investors, all to enable them to scale globally and continue disrupting the challenges Africans experience daily.
