The GSMA Innovation Fund accelerates digital tech solutions that are addressing key global challenges.
Through grant funding and tailored technical assistance, in partnership with the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), we position innovators in LMICs to scale their operations and amplify their social and environmental impacts.
The first edition of our Impact Portfolio summarises the Fund’s methodology and our Theory of Change. It outlines our commitment to supporting female founders, and how we champion the development of emerging tech, such as AI, IoT and blockchain. It then showcases the impactful work of the start-ups and organisations we have supported since 2020, operating in several sectors across Africa and Asia.
The objectives of the Fund are to support digital entrepreneurs on the path to commercial sustainability and scale, profile them and generate lessons for industry insights and advocacy.
