African startups hoping to gain global exposure and also learn how to take their businesses to the next level have been invited to apply for the second edition of the United Kingdom (UK) government’s Go Global Africa programme. The two-week Go Global Africa, run by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport through the International Tech Hub Network, is part of a UK government effort to create mutually beneficial partnerships with Africa and develop new tech to solve local and global issues and pave the way for future trade.

It is open to Kenyan, Nigerian and South African startups with fintech, agri-tech, e-health and clean energy solutions, with 15 selected companies to receive access to training and mentorship, as well as ongoing support from the UK’s International Tech Hub Network. They will act as Go Global champions and share the skills they have learned to mentor other firms in their countries.
