The 7th Cycle received over 200 applications from more than 50 countries which was then narrowed down to a final selection of 6 Startups that consisted of teams addressing problems with unique solutions across an array of industries, including Fintech, Entertainment, E-Commerce, Edtech and Enterprise Software. Having completed the programme, the startups showcased their businesses in the accelerator’s Seventh Demo Day on the 10th of November.
