About the TWAS-BIOTEC Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
The Swiss Africa Business and Innovation Initiative (SABII) is a project of the Swiss-African Research Cooperation (SARECO).
The program aims to further startup entrepreneurship for Swiss and African startups. Following an intensive process, SABII selects business founders of science-based projects who have prior experiences in entrepreneurial pursuits.
A prior experience here means any of these:
- Participant’s own company incorporation,
- Relevant MOOC certificates,
- Course attendance certificates at Higher Education Institutions or
- Proof of business coaching through agencies
These founders partake in an advanced workshop that holds in a key innovation hub in Africa, like Nairobi, Marrakesh, Addis Ababa, and the like.
During the event, these entrepreneurs get business mentoring and an invitation to pitch their ideas to a Swiss-African jury.
After the event in Africa, the heads of the most promising and innovative projects get an invitation to Switzerland for a week’s stay.
In Switzerland, invitees would meet with Swiss business peers and gain an understanding of the startup ecosystem there.
Key Dates and Order of Program
The deadline to apply is July 30 2021
