Project Description
The TechEmerge project will support IFC’s strategy by introducing the best available technologies to IFC clients and prospective clients in the healthcare sector in East Africa through implementing the following 4 main components:
1. Mapping demand and innovation needs of selected private and public healthcare sector companies;
2. Screening and evaluation of relevant new healthcare technologies offered by young technology providers;
3. Convening a technology match-making event targeted to present and demonstrate technologies; and
4. Supporting structuring and financing field test projects.
The TechEmerge project will leverage and combine IFC’s strong track record in venture capital investment in young companies with its existing network and know-how of 2,000+ investment clients globally who are users of technology.
