Submit Applications for Smart Cities Innovation Programme

Deadline: 9-May-21

Applications are now open for the Smart Cities Innovation Programme, it is a 6-month accelerator aimed at supporting high-potential tech start-ups from Rwanda and other African countries operating in the field of Smart Cities.

The programme is divided into 3 tracks – Smart Mobility, Smart Housing & and Fintech for Affordability – supporting 10 start-ups each.

The 30 selected start-ups will benefit from individual mentoring, training as well as intensive networking and matchmaking with international business partners and investors. SCIP is implemented in partnership with various partners — Volkswagen, Siemens, and the African Business Angels Network (ABAN) among others — to bring in highly specialised technical expertise and to build the start-ups’ networks. Start-ups will also be able to use Green City Kigali, Rwanda’s flagship smart city project, as a real application case to test their solutions and enter the Rwandan market.

Participating to SCIP is entirely free, including the potential travels to Rwanda. The porgramme is entirely funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

Duration: SCIP will start in June and end in December 2021.
