Happy New Week!

We closed off applications for the BongoHive FinTech Challenge last week Friday. We received a total of 45 applications. Thank you to everyone who took interest in the programme by applying. We will soon announce the selected fintechs that will be joining us in the inclusive insurance edition. 

On Saturday last week, we conducted a live Question and Answer session for Boost with Facebook. Our trainers answered all the questions that the participants had on all the sessions we have conducted so far. If you missed the session, watch it on our Facebook page. Don’t forget to also register for the upcoming sessions here.

We have increased our coworking capacity and have more spaces available for dedicated desks and private offices! Our dedicated desks have a weekly and monthly option, and our private offices have a monthly option. Check out our offerings here.

Have a great week, and stay safe.
