WIMBIZ Impact Investment Competition 2026 for Women-Led Businesses (Up to ₦6 Million in Grants)

Reach us on

Applications are open for WIMBIZ Impact Investment Competition 2026. Women in Management, Business and Public Service (WIMBIZ) is inviting female entrepreneurs to apply for its 2026 Impact Investment Opportunity, which offers grants of up to ₦6 million to support businesses across selected sectors.

The grant is tied to the 25th Annual WIMBIZ Conference. That anniversary is part of why this edition is getting attention across the women in business community. It aims to support women entrepreneurs who are ready to grow their businesses and increase their impact. The opportunity covers businesses in food and beverage, sustainability, innovation and other business categories.

WIMBIZ Impact Investment Competition Benefits

Winning businesses can receive grants of up to ₦6 million. The publicly available details do not break that figure into prizes or tiers, so treat ₦6 million as the ceiling rather than a promise to every finalist.
Beyond the cash, being shortlisted at a WIMBIZ event puts your business in front of a room full of senior women, investors and potential partners. For a young company, those introductions often matter more than the cheque itself.

Eligibility Criteria

The opportunity is aimed at female entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses.
WIMBIZ has described the competition as focused on young Nigerian women running startups or businesses that have operated for less than three years.
Your business should fit one of the target sectors, such as food and beverage, sustainability or innovation.
The 2026 application form carries the final requirements, so read it fully before you submit.
