Nomfro Technologies, a leading provider of digital solutions for African businesses, has launched the fourth edition of its Entrepreneurship Empowerment Project (NTEEP), offering training, mentorship, and exposure to 500 startups
The project is a comprehensive support program that aims to empower 500 African startups with the essential tools, skills, and connections they need to grow their businesses in the digital age. Applications for the project are now open and will close on March 14th.
NTEEP was launched in 2020 as a way of giving back to the African startup community and fostering a collaborative ecosystem that propels startups towards success. Since then, the project has trained and empowered over 600 startups across the continent, connecting them with experienced business leaders who provide invaluable guidance and insights.

A month-long intensive training program
One of the key benefits of the project is the month-long intensive training program that participants undergo, facilitated by industry experts. The training covers crucial aspects of entrepreneurship, such as business development, strategy, management, finance, and legal issues. The training also equips participants with the knowledge and skills to leverage digital technologies and platforms effectively for their businesses.
A sponsored website and ongoing mentorship
Another key benefit of the project is the sponsored website that participants receive, which helps them to establish and strengthen their online presence, a critical factor in today’s business landscape. The website also provides exposure and visibility to potential customers and partners, both locally and globally.
Additionally, participants receive ongoing mentorship from experienced mentors in their industry who provide guidance and support to help them overcome challenges and achieve their goals. Mentorship is a pivotal component of the project, as it allows participants to tap into a wealth of knowledge and experience from those who have walked the path before them.
NTEEP eligibility and application process
The project is open to African-based, innovative startups and early-stage companies that have significant growth potential and can demonstrate the impact and value of their solutions. The project also welcomes African entrepreneurs living abroad and international startups focusing on African women, youths, or children.
To apply for the project, interested startups need to fill out an online application form on the project’s website, providing information about their business idea, team, market, and challenges. The application deadline is March 14th, and the selected startups will be notified by March 21st. The training program will run from April 1st to April 27th.
