The GSMA Innovation Fund is offering grants of up to GBP250,000 (US$310,000) and tailored venture-building support for enterprises using AI and emerging technologies to create transformative change.
In partnership with the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), the GSMA Innovation Fund for Impactful AI aims to empower small and growing enterprises in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) across Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific.
The initiative seeks to address a critical global challenge – ensuring LMICs are not left behind in the AI revolution and can harness emerging and mobile technologies to drive inclusive and sustainable development.
Grants ranging from GBP100,000 (US$125,000) to GBP250,000 (US$310,000) will be provided over a 15- to 18-month period, enabling enterprises to test and scale solutions that address critical challenges.
Tailored support will help enterprises build partnerships with mobile network operators, attract investors, and develop scalable business models. Beneficiaries will gain access to bootcamps, learning exchanges, and global industry events such as MWC to build their technical and operational expertise.
Applications are open here until March 19.
