Are you an African citizen with a business idea that will create jobs and improve lives in Africa?
Will it improve education or the environment, or solve a problem that is uncharted?
The African Entrepreneurship Award will help you start or grow your business to create jobs and impact Africa.
Every entrepreneur needs more than money. You need mentors to come alongside you, advise you, ask hard questions, encourage you, comfort you, and help you persevere.
