The BIC Africa Acceleration Programme 2024 is back for its fourth edition, aiming to support 20 women entrepreneurs, with 15 slots reserved for entrepreneurs from country projects like Angola, Comoros, Ethiopia, Madagascar, and Somalia, and 5 for entrepreneurs from other Sub-Saharan African countries. The program, running from April to July 2024, will provide a platform for established post-revenue women entrepreneurs to scale their businesses while contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Participants will engage in a 4-month journey involving online training modules, coaching sessions, individual exercises, and networking opportunities with experienced women experts from Africa and Europe.
Key components of the programme include interactive training modules covering topics like Mission and Unique Value Proposition, Product Development, Business Model, Team & Partnerships, Finance, and Marketing. Additionally, group coaching sessions on Leadership, Business Finances, Storytelling, and Time Management will be offered. Participants will also benefit from networking sessions, access to support documents, and integration into the BIC Africa Community, providing visibility and networking opportunities. Further recognition and awards await high-performing participants, including certificates of recognition, one-to-one mentoring sessions, and other business awards. Interested women entrepreneurs meeting the specified criteria have until March 19, 2024, to apply for this transformative opportunity.
