Over the last eight months, you have undertaken intensive training and mentoring from international business leaders and experts. Now, join us for your final training week in Nairobi, Kenya, and face the judges to win £50,000 for your business.
This training week will culminate in the 2024 Africa Prize final, where you will face our panel of expert judges. Three finalists will be awarded with £15,000 each, while judges select one winner to receive £50,000 to further their work. Plus, the pitch with the biggest impact, as voted for by our audience, will take home a £5,000 award.
End the evening with a reception to celebrate your achievements and connect with innovators, investors, and other distinguished guests, including 80 alumni from a decade of the Prize.
One innovator can change a community; a network can transform the continent. Join us to deepen your connections as part of that network for 2024 and beyond.
