HiiL Innovating justice challenge 2022 for justice startups

HiiL’s flagship innovation program, the Justice Accelerator, sponsors, develops, and coaches a global cohort of justice businesses. We are looking for entrepreneurs that solve people’s justice issues and strive to provide them with access to justice at work, at home, in their communities, and in their businesses.

We support startups that empower people with break-through innovations to create better:

  • separation terms with their spouse
  • protection against theft, fraud and violence
  • arrangements about noise, damages and property access with their neighbour 
  • housing maintenance and rent conditions with their landlord
  • agreements on ownership, registration and use of land
  • contracts, fraud protection and compliance for their small business.

What are we looking for?

In 2022, we are welcoming startups from the following countries into our programme:

  • East Africa: Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia
  • West Africa: Nigeria
  • MENA: Tunisia, Lebanon, Jordan, Morocco

We are especially interested in startups that work on what we’ve identified as potential game-changers.

  • people-centred solutions that prevent or resolve justice problems*.
