Rwanda's technology incubator, think, has selected its first group of startup companies it plans to support.

In a statement it announced that four teams were chosen from more than 150 applications from across the globe.

The four selected teams represent innovative, digital, private sector solutions that demonstrate the potential to scale across Africa, the statement notes.

Think has selected Beliaa from Egypt, Cribpark from Nigeria, Ghana's PollAfrique, and TorQue from Rwanda.

Established this year think is Africa’s newest technology incubator, and identifies and supports leading tech start-ups seeking to create digital solutions on the continent.

The winning teams have been offered $15,000 funding, access to Tigo networks across Africa, mentoring from business and tech leaders, tech-specific curriculum on how to develop their businesses and a range of support from think corporate partners.

Tongai Maramba, general manager of Tigo Rwanda said,“The companies we have selected for think show innovation in a crowded playing field. The founders are smart, determined and have the potential to scale their firms across the continent.  After a rigorous review process, we have selected companies that demonstrate incredible promise.”
