Vodacom Tanzania has partnered with Smart Lab—a Tanzanian accelerator to invest over $150 000 in the Vodacom Digital Accelerator program. 

According to Vodacom, the newly launched accelerator program will help early-stage and growth-stage tech startups become profitable and revenue-generating businesses. It is a three-month program that will run annually. The program will identify and support startups across the mobile, telecom, fintech, media, health, education and e-commerce tech ecosystem. 

At the end of the accelerator program, participants will present their progress to a panel of investors. Top startups will be supported by Vodacom, Smart Lab and other partners for an additional six months at the end of the cohorts.
