It may interest you to know that phase one of the accelerator has already begun in Cape Town and will last until early July and they will return to Cape Town for the final phase in September.
The mission of the Injini EdTech Accelerator is to create EdTech specialist incubator programmes across Africa that ensure anyone with an idea that could raise education standards at scale, wherever, and whoever they are, has access to early-stage investment and support.
