Mozambican digital transport platform Appload is among 20 start-ups from around the world that have been selected to take part in the second edition of the Norrsken Impact Accelerator. The competition is to select the world’s most promising impact start-ups and help them scale.
Norrsken’s support goes beyond financial support. It is connected to a pool of high-profile mentors and a network of investors from various geographies. Altogether, 20 start-ups from countries around the world, including Sweden, Norway, the UK Mexico, Slovakia and the United States of America have been chosen for the Norrsken Impact Accelerator. Nine of these are African – including Mozambique’s appload.
The other African start-ups include Clafiya, a Nigerian digital primary health startup; Emata, a Ugandan lending platform; Umoja labs, a Tanzanian payment solution; Motito, a Rwandan artisan recruitment service Fixa, a Ghanaian BNPL platform; HealthDart, a South African health network, Power Financial Wellness, a Kenyan savings and investment service, and SunFi, a Nigerian clean energy start-up.
Appload’s digital linking platform allows data collection and real-time sharing, secure payment, and a system of trip monitoring and customer reviews. This allows supply and demand to meet efficiently, thus optimizing trucks and shipping goods in time, while building trust within the market. In particular, this allows Appload to help fill empty trucks on return trips, at a discounted rate for customers that especially need it.
