EUDF, in partnership with the World Bank, is excited to announce the Accelerate Entrepreneurship Challenge. After a successful track record of investing across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, we are proud to bring our global expertise to the world for the first time. Our goal is to expand our offices across 20 countries by the end of 2026, marking a significant milestone in our mission to empower businesses and drive economic growth across the continent.
We are looking for all kinds of businesses—whether you are looking to develop new products, expand your operations, hire more staff, or enhance your current offerings, this grant is for you. We believe in the power of businesses, both big and small, to drive positive change and contribute to the modernization of industries and local economies. Our goal is to invest in initiatives that foster job creation, accelerate business growth, and reduce poverty.
By supporting businesses across a range of sectors—whether you are introducing a new product, expanding your customer base, increasing production capacity, or scaling your workforce—EUDF aims to create long-term economic impact. This grant is about helping businesses grow, prosper, and provide valuable services that will uplift communities. Investing in these businesses will drive modernization, creating a ripple effect that benefits not only business owners but also their employees, local suppliers, and customers. For economies, this translates into new job opportunities, reduced poverty, and a stronger foundation for future development
