The HealthTech Hub Africa Accelerator Program 2024 for Healthtech Startup
The HealthTech Hub Africa is a hybrid pan-African healthtech accelerator, with a physical co-working and community space in Kigali, Rwanda, working to drive development of health technologies in Africa and fast-track these innovations in public health systems through collaboration with government partners and funders of global health.
By doing so, the HealthTech Hub Africa aims to support African governments in tackling their largest health challenges, particularly those faced by low-income and underserved populations.
Members of The HealthTech Hub participate in an immersive innovation program, investment readiness masterclasses, partner match-making with the public and private sectors, mentorship, and opportunities to test and validate their solutions in the public health system.
Startups in this stage are pre- or post-revenue African registered companies with an African founder operating in one of the four thematic areas.
