Ten women-led startups have been selected to join the fifth cohort of the Standard Chartered Futuremakers Women in Tech (WiT) Accelerator Program, an initiative by Standard Chartered Bank. Launched in 2020 and implemented in partnership with Village Capital and the Ghana Climate Innovation Centre, the incubator equips women-led or owned tech-enabled businesses with the essential tools, training and funding needed to scale their ventures.
Over the next 12 weeks, the selected ventures will participate in an incubation program offering business development support, mentorship, access to potential investors, and market linkages.
Since its launch, the Women in Tech program has supported 74 startups in Ghana. Of those, 21 businesses have received a total of $210,000 in equity-free grants to scale their operations. The program is part of a broader global initiative that runs in 13 countries, giving participants access to an international alumni network.
