Innovative legal startups proceed to HiiL Justice AcceleratorThe Hague Institute for Innovation of Law (HiiL) has announced the four startups that will go on to the HiiL Justice Accelerator. The four exciting innovators are part of a global cohort of 18 organisations who will receive €10,000 funding and business development support. Southern Africa's HiiL Justice Accelerator programme is funded by the Dutch Postcode Lottery. HiiL kicked off its annual global Innovating Justice Challenge in search of the region’s best justice-related social entrepreneurs in March this year which attracted more than 200 applications from startups with high impact justice innovations. The stringent selection process comprised a week of intensive ‘bootcamp’ workshops for six regional finalists, and a pitching session in which they demonstrated their work to an international audience of justice experts including the Deputy Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Mr John Jeffery, and the Ambassador of Netherlands to South Africa, Mr Han Peters. These are the final four innovators joining Hiil’s global programme for acceleration, funding and tailored regional support:
