 African Fashion FundLab Fellowship 2026 (Fully-Funded): Apply Now

Deadline: July 24, 2026

If you've built a fashion brand from the ground up and you're ready to turn it into a real, investment-ready business, the African Fashion FundLab Fellowship 2026 might be exactly what you've been praying for.

This fully funded fellowship is designed for fashion entrepreneurs across Nigeria who are past the "just starting out" stage and are ready to strengthen their operations, sort out their finances, and position their brand to attract funding and grow sustainably.

What Is It All About?

The African Fashion FundLab Fellowship isn't a theory-heavy classroom programme. It's built around practical execution — helping fashion business owners move from idea to action. Through hands-on training and mentorship, participants will learn to:

-Grow their fashion business, generate revenue, and build a sustainable business model

-Position their brand for funding and learn how to attract investors

-Master bookkeeping, financial management, compliance, and legal setup for their business

-By the end of the fellowship, participants should walk away with the skills, structure, and confidence to run a profitable, lasting fashion brand — not just a beautiful one.

Who Is It For?

This fellowship is for you if you:

-Own a registered fashion business

-Have been operating for at least 3 years

-Are able to attend the fellowship in person

This means it's aimed at established designers and fashion business owners — not beginners or hobbyists — who are ready to professionalise and scale.

What You Get

-Full sponsorship — the fellowship is completely free for selected participants

-Expert-led business development training

-One-on-one mentorship from experienced industry professionals

-Guidance on becoming investment-ready

-Networking opportunities with fellow fashion entrepreneurs

-A certificate of participation on completion

Deadline
