The Industry Innovation Lab (IIL) is a technology-focused startup hub at Carnegie Mellon University Africa. The IIL supports startups that are developing and commercializing technology-enabled products that address well-defined market opportunities with potential for profitability, inclusivity, and scaling. The IIL offers a 12-month business incubation program designed to help African tech startups develop scalable, market-ready products and services. The IIL also operates a tech skills marketplace that connects African startups with world-class talent. Through this program, startups can hire CMU-Africa students as interns from May to August, with the option for in-person or virtual work. CMU-Africa co-funds the internship alongside the startup to support the intern's compensation.
