Africa Mobility Initiative is inviting applications from startups in the transport sector seeking to provide solutions that will help to mitigate mobility challenges in Africa.

Africa Mobility Initiative (AMI says the increase in an urban population in African cities has resulted in diversification and an upsurge in transport needs. Both public and private car use have drastically risen resulting in road congestion and air pollution. 

The vision of AMI is to create a vast network of the continent and global transformative mobility enthusiasts, who work together to create sustainable and scalable solutions to mobility challenges in Africa.

Although the initiative has future plans to expand across the continent, the 2020  cohort will focus on Nairobi and Kampala. Therefore 8 Startups from Kenya and Uganda will be selected through a competitive process and in the end those that will be able to demonstrate practical, well researched and possibly tested solutions to the traffic menace will take the day.

Application is currently underway and is open until 31st of March 2020

and will run for six months  starting from May to October and successful innovators will have a chance to:

*Participate in four start-up immersion trips in Kenya and Uganda for the 2020/cohort.
