2020 GSMA Innovation Fund for Mobile Internet Adoption and Digital Inclusion (£250,000 grant funding

Application Deadline: May 22nd 2020 https://tinyurl.com/y95hz6dp

Are you a start-up or SME in Sub-Saharan Africa or Asia? Are you helping people get online for the first time using mobile internet?

You could be eligible to apply for an equity-free grant of between £100,000 and £250,000 to scale your innovation over a 15- to 18-month period.

The mobile industry connects over 3.5 billion citizens to the internet across the globe and continues to lead efforts on digital inclusion by connecting more people every day. Despite this, there is still a ‘usage gap’ of 3.3 billion people covered by mobile broadband networks who are not using mobile internet services. If current trends continue, more than 40 per cent of the population in low- and middle-income countries will still be offline in 2025.
