The programme mission is to foster the participation of women in technological development and to empower women of all ages around the world through technology.
F-LANE collaborates with the Impact Hub Berlin and the Social Entrepreneurship Akademie to globally source innovative start-ups that focus on women, provide an enterprising solution to a social problem and have the potential to make a wide impact.
The online application process for the 7-week accelerator programme starting 4 October 2019 in Berlin is now open. Applications can be submitted to here until 7 June 2019.
To qualify for the accelerator programme your business ideas should also have a broad impact and improve the situation of girls and women through technology.
Five selected founders will participate in the intensive seven-week accelerator programme focusing on four key areas that include:
Funding
Advice & Coaching
Training
Networks
Startups will also be connected to Vodafone Germany, and possibly the wider Vodafone family. African tech startups to have taken part in the programme in the past include Uganda’s BreastIT, Mozambique’s Mowoza and Uganda’s Kaaro Health.
