Gebeya, the leading provider of an ecosystem for Africa’s service economy, has been selected as a finalist in the inaugural Afreximbank Accelerator Programme, a flagship initiative of the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) designed to drive innovation in intra-African trade.
Afreximbank announced the top eight finalists selected for the first cohort of the three-month accelerator, which kicks off in March 2026. The programme is aimed at empowering high-potential startups in developing scalable solutions that advance intra-African trade, industrialisation, and economic integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Gebeya was chosen as a finalist from a highly competitive pool of over 1,600 applications drawn from across Africa, the diaspora, and the Caribbean (CARICOM). Selection followed a rigorous, multi-stage process including in-depth business assessments, interviews and pitch sessions, overseen by Afreximbank trade specialists alongside external experts from the venture capital and innovation ecosystem.
