Every Grant, Tender and Opportunity in Africa, in Your Language: Join the VeriAfrica First Cohort

Grants, funding calls, public tenders and investment opportunities across Africa, translated into your language and delivered twice a day. The VeriAfrica First Cohort is now open.

VeriAfrica cover card, VeriAfrica News: "Every Grant, Tender and Opportunity in Africa, in Your Language"

Every day, thousands of opportunities are published across Africa’s 54 markets: grants for entrepreneurs, funding calls, public tenders, investment opportunities, accelerator programmes, partnership requests and business competitions. Most African businesses never see them. VeriAfrica changes that.

Our AI-powered opportunity platform is now live at app.veriafrica.com, and we are opening a founding group of members: the VeriAfrica First Cohort.

Why Most African Businesses Miss the Opportunities Meant for Them

A foundation in Nairobi opens a grant for women-led businesses. A development bank in Abidjan launches a funding call for agritech startups. A ministry in Libreville publishes a tender. An accelerator in Kigali invites applications from Francophone founders. The opportunity is real, but it is published in another language, on another website, in another country, and often with a deadline that passes before anyone hears about it.

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) was designed to turn Africa into one market. Yet information still stops at borders and language lines. We call this the invisible border. Opportunity exists. Access does not.

What Is VeriAfrica?

VeriAfrica is an AI-powered opportunity intelligence platform for African entrepreneurs, businesses and institutions. It is designed to find opportunities across African Union member states, translate them into the official languages of the African Union (Arabic, English, French, Kiswahili, Portuguese and Spanish), and deliver them to you twice a day, in the language you work in.

Behind the technology, a human layer verifies businesses and connects serious partners, so cross-border collaboration rests on trust, not guesswork.

Opportunities You Can Find on VeriAfrica

  • Grants for African entrepreneurs, startups and SMEs
  • Funding calls from development banks, foundations and donors
  • Public tenders and procurement opportunities
  • Investment opportunities and investor calls
  • Accelerator, incubator and fellowship programmes
  • Business competitions and innovation prizes
  • Joint venture and partnership requests across borders
