The Scalar Botswana Innovation Programme for Business Incubation (SBIP) — a 12-month hybrid incubation initiative delivered by the Botswana Innovation Fund and Scalar Infrastructure and Real Assets (SIRA) — has officially launched. SBIP supports early-stage ventures in SADC and across Africa that will be domiciled in Botswana, guiding them from technology transfer through prototype, MVP, investment readiness, and market expansion. The first cohort focuses on climate action and digital transformation, with supporting partners including Botswana Digital & Innovation Hub (BDIH), Arizona State University’s Walton Sustainability Solutions Service, Frost & Sullivan, the International Climate Finance Accelerator, Mergence Investment Managers, Global Roots, and African Investor.
