Established SMEs & medium enterprisesWith revenue, a track record, and a clear market — ready to expand into EU corridors.
-
NGOs and social enterprises with institutional backingOperating at national or regional scale, ready for international grant programs.

A note on fit: This program is designed for organisations that are already operating — not for early-stage startups or individuals. If you are building institutional capacity and looking to go international, this is for you.
Everything your organisation
needs to grow faster.
Not a course. Not a conference. A hands-on partnership with tangible deliverables at every stage, backed by 9+ years of EU–Africa institutional experience.

Everything you need to
know before applying.
A hands-on, multi-month growth partnership for established African organisations. We work directly inside your organisation to develop revenue, apply for EU and UN grants, build digital infrastructure, and train your team. This is not a workshop or a webinar series — it is active institutional partnership work.
We run 4 cohorts per year. You can express interest at any time. Once you submit the form, we review your organisation and contact you if shortlisted — typically within a few business days. If you are not selected for the current cohort, you may be considered for the next one.
This program is exclusively for organisations that are already operating — with existing revenue, a team, and a track record. We are not a startup accelerator. If you have a foundation and are ready to internationalise and access EU-level institutional support, this is designed for you.
Only after your organisation has been shortlisted and confirmed in the selection call. Expressing interest is free. Reviewing your application is free. The fee is paid upon formal onboarding into the cohort.
Our EU-funded projects are publicly verifiable: search BøthOfUs on the EU Erasmus+ portal, the URBACT expert pool, EIT HEI project records, and the UN program pages linked on our website. Our program director Kay Nag is reachable directly on LinkedIn. We have been covered by CNN, The Guardian, and UN media. We actively encourage due diligence before applying.
800+ grants per year including EU instruments (Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, EIT programs), UN-affiliated funds, bilateral cooperation grants, and transcontinental collaboration funding. We match your organisation to the right instruments — not just send you a list.
If you are not selected, there is no cost. We will let you know our review outcome. Since we run 4 cohorts per year, organisations not selected immediately can be reviewed again for a future cohort.
The program runs over several months depending on your organisation’s scope. Phase 1 (discovery and strategy) typically takes 4–6 weeks. Implementation phases run alongside. All detailed timeline questions are answered during the selection call.
