Startupbootcamp AfriTech and Telecel Group have opened applications for the second edition of the Africa Startup Initiative Programme (ASIP), which offers selected companies access to funding and support. Startupbootcamp AfriTech was launched in 2017 as the first multi corporate-backed pan-African startup accelerator. ASIP aims to support young startups with innovative ideas that are creating a difference in their communities, and 10 startups were picked for the first programme in June. With the help of DER/FJ, startups will gain public-sector knowledge and support which presents an opportunity to further scale their impact. Applications are open here until January 28, with the three-month programme kicking off in April.
