How do I enter the challenge?
What happens after you scale through
the first round?
The last lap
It doesn’t matter what sector you work in…
If you want to improve health in Nigeria and have
a bold way to do it, visit the NHIM portal and
respond to one of the problem tracks. These have
been developed consultatively with stakeholders
and reflect the healthcare challenges faced across
the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria.
Your innovation will be assessed by a team of
experts - if it meets the requirements, we will invite
you to the business proposal stage. You will submit
a detailed business plan that demonstrates the
social/commercial viability of your innovation. You
will get support to prepare this during a business
development boot camp.
At this stage you will have the chance to pitch your
innovation to a panel of Nigerian industry ‘dragons’
made up of medics, techies, academics and investors… could yours be the innovation that wins
US $100,000?
