The Programme by Africa Business Incubator Communities (BIC Africa), aims to help women scale their businesses and contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is open to women business owners in all sectors.
Running from May to September 2023, the 20 selected entrepreneurs will receive six live training modules, four group coaching sessions, networking events, exercises, support documents, and a certificate of recognition.
Participants will also be matched with European and African incubation experts for remote mentoring sessions and have access to the alumnae network of the BIC Africa Women Acceleration programme.
