🌱 About the Fund

The PNG Tech Innovation Fund 2025 is a bold national campaign to raise K500,000 to support 50 local tech entrepreneurs across Papua New Guinea with startup grants of K10,000.00 each.

This fund will directly empower digital solutions and early-stage startups in Financial Inclusion, Education, Agriculture, and Social Welfare/Youth Empowerment.

🚀 Why This Fund Matters

Papua New Guinea faces a growing digital divide—but local innovators hold the key to bridging it. Unfortunately, access to startup capital remains one of the biggest barriers to tech-driven solutions in underserved communities.

The PNG Tech Innovation Fund will provide critical early funding to young visionaries and developers who are building the tools our country needs for a smarter, fairer, and more connected future.

💡 Focus Areas for Impact

1. Financial Inclusion – Mobile wallets, community banking, rural fintech apps
2. Education – E-learning platforms, school tech kits, digital literacy tools
3. Agriculture – Agri-data platforms, farmer access tools, supply chain systems
4. Social Welfare & Youth – Community apps, job platforms, youth innovation hubs

✅ K10,000 Grant
✅ Mentorship & Business Training
✅ Technical Support & Cloud Credits
✅ Exposure to Investors & Pilot Opportunities
