Facebook is inviting applications for the third edition of its London accelerator programme, which, for the first time, is open to start-ups from Africa.
This means that start-ups from Europe, the Middle East and Africa that are creating impact at scale using artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR), blockchain and other Facebook technologies will have a chance to be part of the 12-week Facebook Accelerator London programme which will launch in November.
Start-ups will gain access to the knowledge and expertise of Facebook employees, which includes practical workshops in product, engineering, growth, impact, and bespoke mentorship.
Product managers, data scientists, marketers, recruitment specialists and engineers from Facebook will offer mentorship to the start-ups involved in the programme. Facebook Connectivity will support companies that are building solutions to bring faster, cheaper and better connectivity and internet services to people across Africa.
