Twenty Ghanaian startups have completed the UNICEF StartUp Lab Accelerator and received a total of $445,000.
Following a six-month intense accelerator program focused on business and product development, 20 of Ghana’s innovative entrepreneurs have graduated from the program.
“We continue to be inspired by this new cohort of talented startups, who are leveraging digital technology and their business acumen to build new products and services to tackle some of the most difficult challenges faced by young people in Ghana today,” said Fiachra McAsey, deputy representative of UNICEF in Ghana.
“The 20 startups make up a cohort of resourceful, dedicated and talented individuals from across the country. It has been our pleasure to accompany them over the past six months through the UNICEF StartUp Lab Accelerator Programme, and we look forward to supporting them further, as they join our alumni network, and continue to make a difference for children and young people in Ghana, and beyond.” McAsey added.
The UNICEF StartUp Lab is an accelerator program designed to support companies working to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for children and young people. It is led by UNICEF in Ghana and supported by KOICA under the “KOICA-UNICEF Accelerating Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Ghana” project.
