The Vodafone Institute for Society and Communication has selected Ghanaian and Nigerian startups to participate in its Berlin-based F-LANE accelerator, alongside its global counterparts.

The F-LANE accelerator is a seven-week long program that aims to hone business and impact models, and in the process, get startups investment-ready. The program also aims to support and fund high-potential digital impact ventures that are focused on female empowerment. 

The selected teams will receive a stipend of EUR12,000 to cover living, travel and venture expenses all through the program. The Institute will leverage the program to introduce the startups to personal mentors, potential business partners, and investors.
