| dc.description | The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), in partnership with Betacube, organized the first Demo Day of the Tech African Women (TAW) program on 20 December 2022 at Adore Addis Hotel.
Tech African Women (TAW) is an entrepreneurship program that is dedicated to empowering African female entrepreneurs by helping them transform their ideas into validated business models and building a strong female-led tech start-up pipeline and community in Africa.
TAW 1.0 was first launched in August 2022 with a series of boot camps in four African countries offering a 5-month entrepreneurial program for women-led and idea-stage tech start-ups that provided solutions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The first TAW cohort was composed of eight idea-stage start-ups from Tunisia, Senegal, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. These start-ups benefited from an intensive three-month incubation phase supervised by a network of developers, designers, and business experts. During their training, the start-ups were able to attend tailored webinars led by international trainers. They were put in touch separately with different experts who supported them in branding, business planning, market analysis, and pitching, among others. | en |
