Impact PME Innovation

IMPACT – PME INNOVATION is a national competition designed to accelerate the growth of 50 innovative Senegalese SMEs that have already commercialized or deployed their solutions. Developed under the ETER program and aligned with the *Plan Impact PME* and the Senegal 2050 Agenda, it combines an investment grant with strategic support to boost the companies' competitiveness, job creation, and capacity for expansion. Its intervention strategy is based on identifying the most promising SMEs, selecting them according to rigorous criteria (innovation, commercial traction, economic viability, and impact), and then supporting their scaling-up process through financial assistance, mentoring, and enhanced integration into the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
