This collaboration with NINE introduces the ‘Social Innovation Driven Entrepreneurship’ accelerator, empowering social impact entrepreneurs with a 16-week training program.
Selected participants join the UK-Nigeria Tech Hub founder pipeline, accessing resources and networks.
The initiative, spanning six pilot states, addresses gaps in Health, Climate change, Education, and Food security.
Eligible startups, especially those led by women, are encouraged to apply. The program aligns with the UK’s commitment to fostering brilliance in underserved regions, ensuring support for every idea.
