Rwanda’s Co-Creation Hub, in partnership with Google, Ministry of ICT and Innovation Rwanda, and Mojaloop Foundation Monday admitted nine startups for the Fintech Incubation Programme.
The Fintech Innovation Project which consists of the Fintech Incubation Programme and other developmental programmes is a part of the ongoing efforts to turn Rwanda into the Fintech hub for Africa with Mojaloop as the national payments switch.
The programme aligns with Rwanda’s ambition to drive inclusive economic development by leveraging technology.
Over the next three months, CcHUB will be supporting the teams to achieve product stability and scalability, market readiness and investment.
They will be able to leverage mentorship from industry and domain experts while taking advantage of Google products and Mojaloop.
This first cohort of the program will conclude with a demo day in July, 2022 where the startups will present to investors through the CcHUB syndicate.
