Venturelab has selected 10 startups that will participate in the first online Africa Market Discovery program from October 12 to 14. The cohort will explore market opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa through workshops and meetings with the local players.
For the third year in a row, 10 Swiss startups that are active in agritech, IoT, cleantech, and medtech will participate in the Africa Market Discovery Camp. The online program aims to boost the entrepreneurial know-how and exposure of Swiss sciencepreneurs seeking growth opportunities with and in Sub-Saharan Africa. The camp includes workshops with local business experts and sessions with startups from all across Sub-Saharan Africa to support each other in defining local market entry in their respective markets. The program revolves around the participation at the Afrilabs Annual Gathering event in Marrakesh where a Swiss-African Business Corner has been reserved for hosting peer-to-peer meetings.
