Over 78 student teams from 46 institutions in 17 countries across Africa have signed up to participate. Join us as we celebrate the power of entrepreneurship in sustainable development and celebrate the work of all the student teams as well as announce the winning project.
The Virtual Awards Ceremony will recognize the Top Six teams and their incredible pitches made in the week prior to our outstanding international panel of judges, with the winning team being awarded a $5,000 scholarship! The awards ceremony event will be open to the public in celebration of this momentous achievement.
