SUPPORTING START-UPS TO GROW

PRISE UP

The start-up catalyser “Prise Up” is a component of the World Bank’s PRISE programme. Kicked off in June 2021 in the Maghreb region, the programme provides compact and intense support and training for a cohort of early stage start-ups with their journey towards becoming market-ready investable ventures.

The first Prise Up programme covers impactful ventures from Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria eager to grow and scale their business and impact.

ADDRESSING THE NEEDS

DELIVERING ENTREPRENEURIAL GROWTH RESOURCES

The compact programme engages with the entrepreneurs and ventures on the areas that they and their business needs input and support to accelerate the growth journey.

The compact 13 days of activities are then designed and delivered in by an experienced consortium of regional, African and international entrepreneur support organisations together with their networks and external experts and investors.

It is real and practical experience and expertise delivered.
