As the winner, Macquarie Medical Care will represent Namibia at the Seedstars Africa Summit and receive an all-inclusive trip to the event. The startup will also have the chance to win a spot at the Seedstars Global Summit in Switzerland, where it will compete for a 500K USD investment prize. Additionally, the winner will receive 3 months access to the investment readiness program.
Seedstars World's local partner, GreenTec Capital Africa Foundation, organized the event in collaboration with GIZ Startup Namibia and media partners. The competition attracted interest from over 33 startups, with Genetix Metazoa and Tuma Technologies taking the second and third spots, respectively.
