Entrepreneurs seeking guidance and/or funding through CBA must complete an application. CBA is primarily focused on seed stage start-ups in the following fields:

• Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
• Agribusiness
• Biotechnology
• Health
• Energy

Once the start-up passes the selection process, the entrepreneurs will be invited to present their project at a    screening committee meeting in front of CBA members and partners. Entrepreneurs are generally assisted by a coach chosen by the association that will help them focus on the essential aspects of the project and properly prepare their pitch.

At the end of the meeting, each member expresses his interest in the projects presented and proceeds to the project’s evaluation to determine whether it should be approved or not.
