The first Startup Weekend was held in Niamey during which 80 participants spent 54 hours working on innovative projects. This event took place at the same time as the launch of the CIPMEN, the first startup incubator of Niger. Report!

In late 2013, CIPMEN launched its first call for applications to select the businesses entering the incubator in 2014. It will provide technical support to the businesses selected in order to boost rapid growth, to achieve high visibility thanks to numerous events, and to help access financing from financial partners.
