Investing in Innovation Africa (i3)

Investing in Innovation (i3) is a pan-African initiative to support the commercialization and impact of 60 promising early & growth-stage companies with grants & access to markets support.

i3 is sponsored by a global network of industry leaders, donors and African institutions who 1) facilitate the systematic deployment of grants to selected startups, and 2) help establish access to market mechanisms to connect selected startups to customers who can drive their impact at scale. i3 seeks high-potential startups who can help transform the availability, accessibility, affordability, quality and visibility of health products at scale – creating health impact and prosperity.

i3 seeks to advance access for startups traditionally excluded from funding and support, including women-led companies and founders in Francophone Africa.
