i3, a pan-African program for startup companies creating healthcare supply chains of the future, is seeking top innovators to join its third cohort.
With funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and support from MSD, Cencora, the Endless Foundation, HELP Logistics, Sanofi’s Global Health Unit, and Chemonics, i3 is committed to helping promising early- and growth-stage businesses become commercialized.
Prominent accelerators Villgro Africa, IMPACT Lab, Startupbootcamp Afritech, and CcHUB provide selected startups with grant financing, customized investment-ready support, and introductions to top industry, donor, and government potential clients.
Applications are currently being accepted for the third cohort, which will choose 15 startups—10 early-stage and five growth-stage—after 29 businesses joined its second cohort in 2023. To establish significant collaborations that will increase patient access throughout the continent, early-stage startups will receive a US$50,000 grant, while growth-stage startups will receive a US$225,000 grant.
Expanding patient access and creating important local jobs, i3 wants to facilitate at least 150 collaborations with key healthcare companies, worth at least US$30 million.
The deadline for applications is February 28.
