iHub, East Africa's leading tech hub, in partnership with Hive Colab, Uganda's first tech hub, will conduct an information outreach workshop for Traction Camp Accelerator Program at Hive Colab on 26th of October 2017 from 4.30pm to 7.00pm.
Traction Camp is a regional acceleration program aimed at nurturing startups in East Africa, so as to create globally competitive, growth-oriented, mobile and digital technology businesses. The program is supported by the World Bank Group’s infoDev program and the governments of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Kenya.
Traction Camp is currently seeking applications for its Second Cohort. The call for applications is not yet announced but word reaching us indicates that it will stay open until the end of January 2018.
A series of information outreach workshops across the East African region are being conducted for digital entrepreneurs. The main purpose of these workshops is to inform on requirements of the program, introduce the curriculum of the program and some of the key activities. The workshop will be an eye-opener for all entrepreneurs and especially those planning to participate in the program. Important information and any clarifications about Traction Camp Program will be addressed during the question-answer session at the end of the workshop.
The 6 months program admitted several Ugandan Growth-oriented startups earlier this year that it'll support in scaling through a tailor made acceleration process designed to take growth oriented enterprises and startups through a rapid-cycle competitive curriculum, and matches them quickly to appropriate capital and business mentor. The list includes Tamithi, Mobilzied Construction, Patasente, MobFit and K&G Solar Power.
