March 6, 2023The Africa Impact Challenge // Apply Before 15th April
The goal of the African Impact Challenge is to build Africa we want to see, by investing in our continent’s early innovators.
The challenge enables them to build market-creating innovations, which tackle their country’s biggest challenges with technology
Inspired by The Prosperity Paradox, the challenge will be run in different African countries every year. Our 2020 pilot was in Ghana, followed by the 2021 challenge in Kenya and recently the 2022 Challenge in Rwanda.
This year the challenge is expanding to South Africa, and introducing a pan-African health-focused stream.
Top-performing teams will receive up to $25,000 in either grant funding or equity investment and travel to Toronto, Canada for up to 4-months with all costs covered, to learn and expand their entrepreneurship network. Registration for the 2023 challenge closes on April 15th.
The target is to successfully kick-start innovations aligned with our selection criteria across the continent.
The challenge is providing the capital, resources, and guidance necessary for early founders to begin from scratch and build viable solutions.
