The Africa Women Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum (AWIEF) and Victoria’s Secret have partnered to launch its Growth Accelerator in Nigeria.
Implemented since 2017, AWIEF Growth Accelerator is a flagship business development programme designed to support high-growth-oriented women-owned or women-led ventures with high-level business development and growth strategy training, corporate advisory, mentorship and individualized support, networks, and access to finance.
AWIEF is implementing the Nigerian edition of the programme as part of The Tour Impact Fund, a Victoria’s Secret initiative dedicated to advancing gender equality, empowering women across the globe and amplifying their voices.
The programme will provide 20 women founders or leaders of innovative, growth-stage businesses based in Nigeria with the opportunity to participate in the seven-month, high-impact, investment readiness programme.
It targets multi-sector businesses, but priority will be given to technology-based and tech-enabled businesses in catalytic sectors such as agriculture, health, education, creative industry, financial services, renewable energy, logistics, and climate-smart solutions.
Applications are open here until March 24.
