The Innovation Seed Fund (ISF) presents a unique grant opportunity embedded within the framework of the Oxford Africa Conference, providing students with the chance to secure funding for their research and entrepreneurial initiatives.

With the upcoming 2025 fund, our goal is to significantly enhance its impact by extending the application eligibility to a broader audience, specifically inviting students from across the African continent. This expansion is designed to harness diverse perspectives and unleash the full potential of innovative solutions.
