Africa Business Accelerator: AfricaSME Assembly
All Information
The Africa Business Accelerator is a practical business-growth programme for established African SMEs and founders who are already operating and generating revenue or demonstrating a clear route to commercial traction. It focuses on improving operations, market access, product development, team leadership and capital readiness. Participants receive structured business-development support and opportunities to prepare for engagement with investors and other capital partners. The programme is designed for entrepreneurs who are ready to work intensively on their businesses rather than those seeking funding for an untested idea. The organiser has announced that screening and interviews will take place in December 2026, with the programme beginning in January 2027; the exact application deadline remains unpublished.
