The 12-week program is designed to empower innovators in developing technology-driven solutions that address the continent’s most pressing healthcare challenges. With a focus on training, mentorship, and potential funding, the incubator aims to transform innovators’ healthcare visions into thriving realities.
The African health tech market is projected to surpass $11 billion by 2025, underscoring the immense opportunity for innovation and growth in the region. Pishon Health’s incubator program is poised to capitalize on this potential by providing a dynamic hub for African innovators to develop, refine, and scale up their game-changing solutions.
“Africa faces significant healthcare challenges,” said Mopelola Lauretta Ajegbile, Founder at Pishon Health. “However, the continent is also brimming with talented innovators developing solutions specifically tailored to address these issues. Our incubator program is designed to bridge the gap, nurturing these innovations and empowering them to reach their full potential.”
Pishon Health will support these innovators with access to mentorship, capital, and advisory services worth up to $100,000, helping them navigate the complexities of developing and scaling locally relevant solutions. The newly unveiled incubator serves as a vital catalyst, nurturing and propelling forward the next generation of African innovators shaping the future of healthcare.
Pishon Health’s Social Innovation Incubator offers a tailor-made program that addresses healthcare challenges specific to the African context, ensuring that the solutions have a real-world impact. Participants will receive guidance from experienced professionals in healthcare and social entrepreneurship, focusing on practical skills development, business model refinement, pitching techniques, and partnership strategies.
“We are confident that African-led innovations hold the key to unlocking a healthier future for the continent,” said Ifeoluwa Ojo, Co-founder of Pishon Health. “We invite all passionate health tech entrepreneurs to join our incubator and become part of this transformative movement.”
Throughout the three-month program, participants will benefit from personalized guidance from seasoned experts and experienced entrepreneurs, with the potential to secure investments of up to $10,000 to advance their innovations. The incubator also fosters a lasting community, connecting participants with a network of alumni for ongoing collaboration and growth.
This groundbreaking initiative from Pishon Health marks a significant step in empowering African healthcare innovators to tackle the continent’s most pressing medical challenges and shape a healthier future for all.
