GSMA Ecosystem Accelerator Innovation Fund: Insights from our Asia Pacific start-ups

The GSMA Ecosystem Accelerator Innovation Fund has provided three rounds of funding to 34 start-ups across Africa and Asia Pacific. Their work covers multiple sectors, including HealthTech, CivicTech, EdTech and more and has delivered measurable impact at scale. As the grantees across the three rounds have completed their grants and are continuing to drive impact and growth, we have looked back over all of the things we’ve learnt as a programme through the Innovation Fund and what this means not just for us, but for the ecosystem as a whole. Here are our top insights from the Asia Pacific start-ups.
