Support for African start-ups

First winners of the African European Digital Venture Program (AEDV) have been announced!

From more than 150 applications, the first six promising start-ups from Tunisia and Ghana were selected for the African European Digital Venture Program (AEDV) of UnternehmerTUM, center for innovation and start-ups at the TU Munich.


The program gives start-ups the opportunity to get to know the European and German ecosystem in a concrete and practical way, to establish first contacts that can be the basis for future business and to acquire relevant knowledge for this purpose. The initiation of partnerships in the field of digital transformation, also across continents, will create a win-win situation for both parties.

The project is supported by the Special Initiative "Decent Work for a Just Transition", which operates under the brand Invest for Jobs.

More information on the program can be found here.
