About

Mirko Zuerker has supported SEED since 2009 and has developed and enhanced its global incubator and accelerator programme positioning its awards and support scheme as the leading schemes in the field of eco-inclusive enterprise development. He helped to connect SEED with donors, investors, foundations and intermediaries making SEED a key player in the space. As lead of its Deal Ready Programme he created matches between Financers and multiple Enterprises and with the creation of the SEED BDS+ Programme he built a training mechanism to enhance the quality of business development service providers across Africa. At SEED Mirko coined the term toolification as he developed several business incubation and acceleration toolkits focusing on topics such as eco-inclusive innovation, business modelling, organisational development, market research and lean-start-up.
