Are you an African innovator and entrepreneur focussed on developing a science-based solution for disease prevention, diagnosis, management or treatment?

The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in the science or technology behind the innovation. Typically, successful applicants are early career researchers looking to commercialise their research, postgraduate students or final year students in medicine or bioengineering.

Candidates must be committed to building a venture to tackle a large-scale challenge. The programme is highly competitive and candidates who benefit the most are curious, creative, strong critical thinkers, resilient and have the drive to tap into and reconfigure knowledge located in disparate spaces.
