URBUNX Demo Day

Accelerating African startups for growth

URBUNX is a startup and scaleup acceleration program designed to enable African entrepreneurs to create sustainable solutions to urban challenges. The initiative will support local African founders through our knowledge, network & resources to scale globally with a particular focus on the Chinese market.

To kick-start the program in Africa, URBUNX launched our first URBUNX Basecamp supported by World Bank & UN-Habitat to give a quick boost to startups looking to scale and/ or raise their next round of funding.

Demo Day 

Demo day which will take place on the 19th of November is the culmination of the URBUNX Basecamp for our Cohort 1 startups. The startups will demo their ventures to all investment and ecosystem partners in attendance.
