Web Hub Africa has announced that applications are now open for its Manufacturing Incubation Program titled Empowering Youth to Drive Africa’s Economic Growth. The organisation confirmed it has been awarded the 2025 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) grant to support the initiative.
According to the statement, “With this Alumni support, we’re on a mission to transform the lives of 200 young people, and women in Lagos and Uyo, taking them from innovative manufacturing ideas to shelf-ready products for local and international markets.”
The program will offer hands-on manufacturing training, regulatory compliance guidance, market access strategies, and a co-manufacturing hub for selected entrepreneurs.
Through initiatives such as the Shelf-Ready Workshop and Manufacturing Excellence Incubator, and through partnerships with global distribution platforms including Amazon and Walmart, it aims to turn homegrown ideas into viable and resilient businesses.
“A huge thank you to the Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund and the U.S. Department of State for making projects like ours possible,” the organisers added, stressing that “Your manufacturing dreams are now valid.”
