About this opportunity
For edtech founders who need more than money, the WISE EdTech Accelerator runs a bespoke growth programme ahead of the WISE summit in Qatar. The page describes dedicated coaching, industry masterclasses, investor networking and global event visibility for selected ventures, and it prints no cash prize figure.
The accelerator is geographically open, with an optional Qatar specific track, and looks for for profit, early stage startups between seed and pre Series A that are beyond minimum viable product with verified market traction. African edtech founders meeting that stage can apply on the same terms as everyone else.
Applications close on Saturday 31 October 2026 through the accelerator's awards platform linked from the page. If your product already has traction and your next hurdle is structure, investors and a global stage, this programme is built around exactly that gap.
