The institution had always supported local startups, which was one of the reasons why they jointly launched a project called, ‘The Next 100 African Start-ups initiative’ with the Egyptian Ministry of Investment and International Cooperation (MIIC). The project gave an opportunity to selected startups to connect with international investors, financial institutions, government officials, and policymakers from the African continent.

IFC is a subsidiary of the World Bank Group. It is one of the largest global development institution that pays attention to the private sector. It works with over 2K companies globally and employs its vast prowess and funds to come up with opportunities to help entrepreneurs in hardship regions of the world.

IFC invested a total of USD 23 Billion in long-term financing for developing countries in 2018. The organization said the early stages of a business is crucial to its survival and future growth and they will continue to support entrepreneurs and their ecosystems by helping them bridge the challenge of inadequate seed capital.
