Opportunity description
The HiiL Justice Accelerator is looking for innovative entrepreneurs who are willing to help improve efficiency and transparency in existing justice policies in their societies and the world.

[1] Family Justice
[2] Land and Neighbor Disputes
[3] Crime and Law Enforcement
[4] Employment Justice
[5] Micro, Small and Medium sized Enterprises
Each year, hundreds of justice innovations apply and between 15-20 will be selected for grant funding, justice expertise and mentoring. Between 40-50 startups, selected semi-finalists, will be invited to pitch at local bootcamps. This year’s bootcamps will take place in Johannesburg, Lagos, Nairobi, Kampala, Kyiv and the Hague.
The HiiL Justice Accelerator supports justice entrepreneurs, particularly in Africa and the Middle East but also across the world, through a series of local training events as well as the yearly Justice Entrepreneurship School in The Hague, providing them with the skills they need most to manage and lead their innovations. HiiL also offers seed funding, follow-on funding and acceleration and business services to help those grow their innovations.
