  • The programme will connect founders with industry experts, experienced mentors, and a network of fellow entrepreneurs, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing to accelerate startup growth.
  • Selected startups will benefit from tailored support, including one-on-one coaching, pitch preparation, and access to funding opportunities to help them navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship.
  • Startups will receive structured training on critical areas such as business development, legal and regulatory compliance, customer acquisition strategies, and financial management to enhance their operational efficiency.
  • Beyond training, founders will be supported with real-world exposure through networking events, demo days, and investor matchmaking sessions designed to help them secure partnerships and investment.
