African startups have been invited to apply for Archipelagos, a multi-year international cooperation programme that aims at supporting the growth of African SMEs and facilitating their access to capital markets. Developed by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), the Italian financial institution for international development cooperation, with the support of the European Commission, Archipelagos will assist up to 1,000 SMEs from across the continent with access to a dedicated capacity-building programme. Through the Archipelagos digital platform, SMEs will have access to a vast learning catalogue of online courses, with differentiated learning paths according to the specific needs and stage of development. On top of the asynchronous component, webinars will contribute to make the learning journey even more stimulating, engaging, and interactive. Interested parties can apply here until June 30, with applications evaluated on a rolling basis.
