AIC Startup Showcase
You're invited to a front-row look at the next class of African startups building market-creating products solving local problems with global scale ambitions.
The Startup Showcase brings together a curated lineup of African Impact Challenge Cohort 6 companies across fintech, proptech, foodtech, retail tech, e-commerce, climate risk, gaming and esports, and workforce technology, for engagements with investors, corporate partners, and the wider technology ecosystem in Nigeria.
These founders have just kicked off the implementation phase of the program: tailored support, 1:1 mentorship, hands-on training covering everything it takes to build and scale successful businesses.
The event will see:
1. Founders deliver a concise, focused pitch that gets straight to the product, traction, customer segments, the business model powering it, and why this matters.
2. Insightful firesides featuring seasoned operators sharing what it takes to build venture-scalable startups and drive economic impact from Africa to the world.
3. Keynotes from our partners and other ecosystem leaders.
4. Networking sessions to engage the startup community in Lagos, Nigeria.
