Intel has extended the application deadline for its Community Reach Program 2.0 to June 27 giving innovators from African Union countries more time to submit tech-driven solutions to local challenges.

The program, now in its second year, supports projects that utilise AI and broadband connectivity to address pressing issues across education, healthcare, agriculture, fintech, environmental services, and digital skills development. 

This extension opens the door for more women-led and community-focused initiatives to compete for visibility, strategic support, and access to Intel’s innovation ecosystem.

AI and broadband solutions take centre stage

Following the success of its 2024 debut, Intel’s Community Reach Program (ICRP) returns with an even stronger mandate to fund and scale projects that drive real social impact through the use of artificial intelligence and broadband.

The 2025 edition retains its focus on tech-powered inclusion but introduces simplified application processes, expanded technical support, and deeper inclusion of women-led solutions.

In 2024, Intel received 436 applications from 35 countries in Africa. Seven standout projects were supported, spanning sectors such as education, emergency healthcare, agritech, and financial literacy.

Over 115 women-led initiatives were submitted, with 30 of them spotlighted through the U.S. State Department-sponsored Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE).

Now, with an extended deadline, the 2025 cohort promises to go bigger, giving African startups, NGOs, and institutions more time to join Intel’s innovation pipeline and amplify their solutions across the continent.

Showcasing Africa’s breakthrough innovations

The previous year’s winners demonstrated the power of locally developed technology in addressing continental issues.

Projects like SnooCODERED in Ghana used AI to improve emergency medical logistics, while Rwanda’s SAVE & Pindo delivered financial education via voice AI in Kinyarwanda.

Nigeria’s Ghetto to Glory utilised gaming to inspire underserved youth, while Kenya’s Nyansapo Foundation equipped teachers with AI tools to enhance literacy.

These projects didn’t just win support, they gained access to global platforms like Intel Liftoff for Startups and the Skills for Innovation (SFI) program.

Many also attracted new partnerships through connections with Prosper Africa and Modus Africa VC, further fueling their ability to scale and positively impact communities in the long term.

How to apply and key deadlines

Eligible applicants must operate in underserved African communities and demonstrate clear social impact. Projects should be AI- or broadband-enabled and present a business plan, sustainability model, and impact framework. Proposals are accepted in English only.

The final submission deadline is June 27, 2025. Shortlisting and first round results will be announced by July 25, 2025, with the final round of applications due on August 22, 2025. Finalists will be officially announced on September 22, 2025.

Intel will judge submissions based on design, feasibility, social impact, and financial sustainability. Selected projects will receive expert consultation, access to Intel’s innovation ecosystem, and long-term growth opportunities.
