Five African start-ups championing innovative healthcare solutions were named winners of the Health Entrepreneurship Challenge 2022 following a rigorous U of T–led incubation program that supports early-stage entrepreneurs at collaborating network institutions across 20 African countries.

This UN-award winning pilot initiative of the African Impact Challenge (AIC), in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, is supported in collaboration with three University of Toronto accelerators—The BRIDGEHealth Innovation Hub (H2i), and ICUBE—as well as programming support from expert African investors, founders, and mentors.
