Open rolling incubation for African CreativeTech startups
A UNDP pan-African incubation programme connecting CreativeTech startups to local incubators, mentors, digital tools, demo days and investment-readiness support.
Use when
You have an MVP for an African CreativeTech venture and need structured incubation, mentors and investor readiness.
Skip when
You only want guaranteed cash funding, have no MVP, or are not building for the creative economy in Africa.
Status (20 Aug 2026): OPEN on a rolling basis with quarterly cohorts; the first cohort begins September 2026. Eligible startups must be based in Africa or target African markets, have a prototype/MVP, a committed team, a scalable technology-enabled solution for the creative economy, and fit areas such as gaming, animation, music, film, design, creator platforms, immersive tech or AI creative tools. This call promises incubation and pathways to capital, not a guaranteed cash grant.
