Retail & Digital Inclusion

-2021-

Application Deadline: 31.07.2021

About the Program

After the completion of two successful acceleration programs focusing on ''Retail & Proptech'' and ''Fintech & Financial Inclusion'', we are expanding our vision to emphasize on contemporary needs of businesses and individuals.

​

The ongoing digitalization of our lives has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic and the need to be able to facilitate many aspects of our lives digitally became more evident. In response to satisfy those needs, we are launching the ‘Retail & Digital Inclusion’ themed Innovate21st program to support and fund startups that are targeting to solve problems deriving from the imminent digital needs of society. 

 

Startups that are chosen will receive investment up to 500K USD (200K USD on average) prior to the beginning of the program. Also, these startups are going to be continued to get supported throughout the program for additional investment and financing opportunities.
