The Next Einstein Forum and CcHub Launch Sciencepreneur Investor Meetup ¶
Published on December 2, 2019
The Next Einstein Forum (NEF) and the Co-Creation Hub (CcHUB) have partnered to launch the Sciencepreneur Investor Meetup, a program aimed at supporting African science-driven entrepreneurs with pitch preparation and investment readiness sessions.
The meetup is set to take place concurrently at the NEF Global Gatherings 2020 in March 2020. The program aims to help scientists transition their ideas from lab to market, thereby commercializing their breakthrough solutions.
Winning solutions will take home $25,000 for each category, and a chance to pitch before investors during the NEF Innovation Salon in Nairobi in March 2020, at the NEF Global Gathering where they can raise additional funding.
Applicants must hold a passport from an African country, be of African descent, have the ability to present their work in English, and must be available to travel to Nairobi, Kenya from March 5 – March 13 2020.
Those interested in applying can learn more about the criteria and how to apply on the website tiny.cc/nefinvestormeetup and submissions are open until 20 December.
