    SELECTION CRITERIA

    Below is the selection criteria:

    • Motivations of the entrepreneur
    • The relevance of the team profile
    • Inclusive nature of the company with social and/or environmental impact
    • Viability and sustainability of the business

    SELECTION PROCESS

    Step 1: Evaluation of the application files

    Based on the above criteria, an initial pre-selection of 10 projects on average per country will be made by a first selection committee to be held before the end of February 2021. An email notification will be sent to applicants by the Incubators within eight (8) days of the written selection committee’s decision.


    Step 2: Bootcamp and final selection

    The shortlisted projects will then be further evaluated during a Bootcamp which will be held physically or digitally (in case of confinement measures). At the end of the five (5) weeks of Bootcamp, the Incubators will organize an oral selection committee made up of AFIDBA and external partners. Applicants must present their project in the form of a pitch to select the profiles most suited to the program. The degree of development of the entrepreneur between the start and the end of the Bootcamp is one of the
    selection criteria of this oral selection committee.


    Step 3: Integration into the acceleration program
    The winners of the program will be informed by email notification with the incubation contract to be signed by the Incubator.
