The Commonwealth Startup Fellowship is a dynamic six‑month programme dedicated to igniting and elevating high‑potential startups from low‑ and middle‑income Commonwealth countries. The entrepreneurs will be equipped to build thriving businesses, scale operations effectively, and drive job creation in their home countries.
The landmark initiative, developed by the Commonwealth Scholarships Commission (CSC) in partnership with Imperial Enterprise Lab and Imperial Global Ghana, has selected 20 startups from low- and middle-income Countries around the Commonwealth to take part. The startups include participants from India, Malawi, Zambia, Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, and Cameroon and were chosen from more than 1,400 applications.
The programme kicked off with a two‑week bootcamp in Accra, Ghana which is followed by five months of online facilitation featuring expert‑led sessions, mentoring and business coaching. The startups will also benefit from access to a powerful global network to help overcome barriers and scale up their businesses.
