The Federal Government has launched a new startup funding programme that will provide up to $350,000 in funding for eligible early-stage technology startups.
The initiative targets startups building solutions in sectors including fintech, healthtech, agritech, edtech, climate technology, manufacturing, digital infrastructure, and artificial intelligence.
In addition to funding, selected startups will receive mentorship, technical support, business development assistance, and access to investor networks to help them scale.
The programme supports the implementation of the Nigeria Startup Act and aims to strengthen the country’s innovation ecosystem by improving access to capital for promising startups.
Applications will open in phases, with startups expected to meet eligibility requirements related to innovation, scalability, and governance before receiving funding.
