Ideation Hub Africa (IHA) African Masterclass Series 6.0 — Apply Now (Free, 12 Weeks)
Deadline: Rolling Basis (applications open, apply as soon as possible)
Applications are officially open for the Ideation Hub Africa (IHA) African Masterclass Series 6.0 (AMS 6.0) — a FREE, 12-week Impact Accelerator designed to equip 2,500 changemakers, social innovators, entrepreneurs, and NGO leaders across Africa with practical, future-ready skills in funding, technology, AI, innovation, and leadership.
If you have been searching for a free business masterclass in Africa, a fellowship for social entrepreneurs, or a training program for NGOs and changemakers, this is one opportunity you don't want to sleep on.
What Is the African Masterclass Series 6.0 About?
AMS 6.0 is themed "The Impact Accelerator: Funding, Technology, Innovation, AI & Leadership for the Digital Age." It is the sixth and most ambitious edition of Ideation Hub Africa's flagship Masterclass Series, built to close the gap between bold ideas and real, scalable impact.
Across the continent, many brilliant ideas never grow because founders lack the right structure, mentorship, or access to capital and tools. AMS 6.0 exists to fix that gap by giving participants a full 12-week, hands-on learning journey rather than a one-off webinar.
Key Features of AMS 6.0
•World-Class Curriculum — 12 innovation-rich, module-based sessions built around Africa's real challenges
•Expert Mentorship — direct access to 12 top mentors from entrepreneurship, development, and policy sectors
•Impact Cohorts — participants are grouped into peer-led teams aligned to specific SDGs (health, education, agriculture, climate, gender equity, STEM, AI, policy, civic engagement, and economic empowerment) for collaboration and project development
•Capstone Challenge — a final pitch session where participants present their solutions to a panel of funders, experts, and ecosystem leaders
•Post-Program Support — alumni engagement, visibility, and funding access for standout projects
•Certificate of Completion at the end of the program
•The program is entirely free and runs for 12 weeks, combining live sessions, expert-led masterclasses, case studies, workshops, mentorship, and collaborative project work.
Who Should Apply? (Eligibility)
-AMS 6.0 is open to changemakers across the African continent. You should apply if you are:
-A social entrepreneur or NGO leader building or scaling a community project
-Passionate about AI, innovation, and the future of work
-A woman leader or part of an underrepresented group (this is a priority segment)
-A university student or early-career professional
-A nonprofit professional seeking clarity, capacity, and capital for your work
-A policy advocate or development practitioner solving pressing African challenges
-A changemaker with a bold idea and the commitment to grow it
-A developer, designer, or digital creator who wants to use technology and AI for real-world impact, build scalable tech-enabled products, or sharpen your product thinking
-Country eligibility: This program is open to applicants across the African continent — it is not restricted to a single country or region. Both new applicants and AMS alumni can apply, as every edition features a fresh curriculum.
Application Deadline
The deadline is on a rolling basis, meaning applications are reviewed and accepted continuously until slots are filled. Because this is a free, high-demand program with a limited target of 2,500 participants, it is best to apply early rather than wait.
