Helping healthcare to access capital 

By using an AI-powered credit scoring platform, Christian Nwachukwu’s project, called 10mg, enables lenders to provide fast, collateral-free loans to healthcare providers in emerging markets — and ultimately improve patient care. A graduate of Aston Business School, Nwachukwu describes the platform as offering real-time, accurate assessments of creditworthiness, helping to overcome barriers such as high interest rates and long approval processes. 10mg has developed a SaaS APIs — cloud-based tools that enable communication between various applications — and created partnerships with UK lenders Fintech Farm, Plend and Blend to promote sustainable lending practices to healthcare providers in Africa.
