Smart Africa, a pan-African alliance promoting digital transformation, has selected 15 startups led by women in Côte d'Ivoire for a new support program. The initiative aims to empower female entrepreneurs in the tech sector, providing mentorship, funding access, and networking opportunities.
The selected startups span various industries, including fintech, agritech, and healthtech. Each will receive tailored assistance to scale their businesses and contribute to the region's digital economy.
This program aligns with Smart Africa's broader goal of fostering innovation and gender equality across the continent. The initiative was announced in June 2026, with details on specific startups and funding amounts yet to be disclosed.
