Technovation AI Ventures Accelerator Program 2025 for Young Women ($10,000 Seed Funding)

Reach us on

Applications are open for the Technovation AI Ventures Accelerator 2025 , a free 12-week accelerator programme designed to fast-track young women from idea to investor-ready AI ventures. The initiative, organized by Technovation in partnership with Generation Unlimited, offers selected teams the opportunity to win up to $10,000 in equity-free seed funding.

The accelerator provides hands-on training, mentorship, and investor exposure to help participants transform their AI ideas into viable, scalable tech startups that solve real-world problems. The AI Ventures Accelerator is a free accelerator from Technovation and Generation Unlimited that fast-tracks teams of young women from idea to investor-ready AI venture with a chance at $10,000 in equity-free seed funding.

A global skills crisis is projected for 2030, with 60% of young people lacking essential job skills, disproportionately impacting young women in underserved communities who already face systemic barriers. This exclusion is compounded by a representation gap where women hold only 22% of AI roles, leading to biased systems that fail entire populations. The AI Ventures Accelerator is directly tackling this by providing 1,000 young women with world-class AI skills and entrepreneurial training to launch ventures and become the diverse leaders, innovators, and founders needed to build a more inclusive tech industry.
