About this round
iAccelerator Phase 7 final pitching and award ceremony, Kigali Convention Centre, Friday 11 Sep 2026; six winners chosen from 15 finalists, each awarded Rwf 10,000,000 non-dilutive seed funding plus six months of training and mentorship. The New Times gives no USD figure; converted at 1 USD ~ 1,450 RWF = ~USD 6,900 (Business Tech Africa puts the Rwf 60M total at 'about $50,000', i.e. ~$8,300 each, a looser conversion). Programme run by Imbuto Foundation with partners UNFPA Rwanda, Ministry of Youth and Arts and Friends of Imbuto (programme page / Business Tech Africa); The New Times names no co-funder, so only Imbuto Foundation is recorded as investor. Winner: Tuza Smart Bracelet. Wearable that detects early signs of mental-health disorders, anxiety and stress, uses haptic vibration to calm the wearer and pairs with an app that suggests exercises during prolonged distress; award funds further product development.
