Hi-Innovator
Unlocking the potential of Ugandan entrepreneurs through collaboration.
How we work
The NSSF Hi-innovator Program was established in August 2020 as a 5-year program to explore mechanisms that the Fund could implement that can help unlock dignified and fulfilling work opportunities for youth through entrepreneurship. Hi-Innovator's primary focus is on businesses that are not considered attractive to traditional investors and would otherwise struggle to raise the financing and technical support they need to grow. As such, the Program aims to strengthen access to and sustainably grow the productive employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for young people in Uganda.
