“Projects that meet Defy’s impact, applicability and commercialisation criteria will be selected for further development. Not only will those behind the projects gain access to sales opportunities, investment networks, and the ecosystem in general, they will also have the opportunity to participate in acceleration and incubation programmes,” he added.
