The GSMA Innovation Fund, supported by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), is providing grants to small and growing enterprises (SGEs) using AI and mobile technology to address socio-economic and climate challenges in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

The fund is open to for-profit enterprises with up to 250 employees. Eligibale businesses must be based in Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, or the Pacific.

Successful enterprises will receive grants ranging from £100,000 to £250,000 for projects lasting 15 to 18 months. They will also gain tailored venture-building support, partnerships with mobile network operators, and increased visibility through GSMA platforms and events.

The deadline for pitch submissions is 19 March 2025.
