LOT Verification ScoreSolid

Cross-checked 5 of 5 key facts

Confirmed Our best read Not stated

Good to know

  • +Run by the World Bank, Switzerland's SECO and Trust Valley, all verifiable institutions
  • +The FAQ states plainly that core services, travel, accommodation and meals cost nothing
  • +Each challenge page carries a full timeline, an eligibility list and an FAQ, so the terms are clear before you commit
  • +The 2025 Ghana Revenue Authority round ran to completion, so the programme has a track record

Worth checking yourself

  • !This is for companies, not for individual young people. A person cannot apply alone.
  • !At least one team member must be fluent in French, and the source material is Moroccan public finance documentation
  • !The solution must run on-premise with no external cloud API calls, which rules out most hosted AI products
  • !No cash award or proof of concept budget is published, so the commercial terms are unclear

What we could not confirm

  • ?The pages never say whether the proof of concept work is paid, or how much. They only say the programme, travel, accommodation and meals cost nothing. The 21 August deadline is given as a date with no closing time or timezone
  • ?Funding amount
