Nigerian startups have been invited to apply for the second cohort of the SIA Startup Foundry accelerator.

Run by the SIA Foundation, to support Nigerian entrepreneurs, the SIA Startup Foundry offers US$10,000 in grant funding to six innovative businesses after an intensive training and demo pitch day.

“With the challenges entrepreneurs face in the Nigerian business landscape, ranging from limited funding to market access, this programme provides not just financial support but also mentorship, training, and a platform to scale their businesses,” organisers said.

Applications are open here until February 28.
