TechTrends Podcast | How USAID Ban is Shaking Up African Healthtech Startups

Welcome to The TechTrends Podcast, where we break down the biggest issues shaping Africa’s business and tech landscape.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a growing crisis—the impact of U.S. foreign aid [USAID] funding bans on African startups.

With billions in aid at stake, many health-tech startups that once relied on grants and partnerships are now scrambling to survive. Will this funding freeze cripple innovation, or will it force African entrepreneurs to find new ways to thrive?

We explore the real stories, the winners and losers, and what this means for the future of Africa’s startup ecosystem.
