Applications are open for Wetech PitchHer Investment Readiness Programme 2026. Wetech, in partnership with the UK-Nigeria Tech Hub and supported by Tech4Dev as technical partner, is calling for women-led startups building bold, practical solutions across AI, emerging technology, business, and innovation to apply for the Wetech PitchHER Investment Readiness Program 2026.

This programme equips female founders with the knowledge, mentorship, and investor readiness skills needed to raise capital, scale their businesses, and pitch confidently before investors and ecosystem leaders at the Wetech 2026 Conference.

Access to investment remains one of the biggest barriers facing women entrepreneurs across Africa. The PitchHer programme helps bridge that gap by equipping founders with the practical skills, networks, and visibility needed to secure funding and accelerate business growth.

25 selected founders will step into a powerful ecosystem of visibility, expert feedback, strategic support, partners, investors, and decision-makers designed to move their ventures into their next level of growth. The program will culminate in a live pitch at Wetech Conference 2026, where finalists will compete for a chance to access a ₦8.5 million cash prize pool.
