The GSMA Innovation Fund accelerates digital tech solutions that are addressing key global challenges. Through grant funding and tailored technical assistance, we position innovators in low- and middle-income countries to scale their operations and amplify social and environmental impact.
In October 2023, we gathered 17 innovators from our GSMA Innovation Fund portfolio for a closed-door bootcamp in Kigali, Rwanda. These start-ups and NGOs, from 10 countries across Africa and Asia, have been working together with the GSMA and mobile operators to scale their products and services into sustainable businesses. The 1.5-day bootcamp brought them together with ecosystem partners, investors and donors to connect, build relationships and discuss opportunities to scale.
In this video, you will learn more about how the GSMA Innovation Fund supports them, what milestones they have reached since collaborating with us, how mobile technology can help them scale, and what they learned at Bootcamp 2023.
The GSMA Innovation Fund is currently funded by UK International Development from the UK government and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), and is supported by the GSMA and its members.
