The GSMA Disaster Response Innovation Fund can provide funding to help you to test or scale it.

Funding of up to £300,000 per project is available, as well as promotion and networking opportunities. GSMA funds either: Seed Projects to test new products or services; or Market Validation Projects to replicate proven products or services.

The Fund is open to applicants delivering impact in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa.
