IGNITE Digital Economy Incubator and Accelerator Roadshow, Kitwe and Ndola

​About Event
The IGNITE Digital Economy Incubator and Accelerator, is a 12-month, high-intensity initiative designed to bridge the gap between digital innovation and sustainable development in Zambia.

​Funded by the European Union and implemented by BongoHive Innovations in partnership with Self Help Africa, we are on a mission to scale 40 of Zambia’s most formidable entrepreneurs. We are seeking those who are leveraging digital technologies to drive the circular economy and build a sustainable, greener future for Zambia.

​We are coming to your city for an intensive, two-day hands-on experience designed to help you further refine your valuable proposition as you apply for the programme.
