3. Incubate

Develop & test tech inspired solutions.

We’ll test future tech inspired solutions developing vehicles for venture acceleration while building home-grown talent.

Our innovation arm GDI Hub Accelerate will offer a safe space for start-ups to rapidly explore new concepts. Developing capacity in country to deliver AT accelerators and ecosystem interventions, we’ll support AT ventures through early-stage pathways, while developing knowledge outputs, innovation insights and papers.

Our new innovation fellowship programme will incubate talent through grants, developing an interdisciplinary global forum and seed funding – alongside a six-month virtual accelerator programme. Building mechanisms for support, in-person training will be delivered alongside ecosystem alignment to provide channels for finance and partnership, and bridges to other  research, innovation, and entrepreneurship programmes.
