Announcement of the winners of the 1000 Entrepreneurs Challenge

The General Secretariat of the Africa-France Summit, Digital Africa and the members of the jury of the “1000 Entrepreneurs Challenge” are pleased to announce today the list of the winners.

Entrepreneurs were invited to the Africa-France 2020 Summit which was due to start on June 4, 2020 in Bordeaux, France. The current circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic no longer allowed it to be held as planned.

The winners will however benefit from a dedicated support program, allowing them to have access to funding, training, networking and visibility for their projects. This program is supported by a network of French and African partners, in particular through mentoring, networking, grants, public and private funding.

A first brick developed by Digital Africa will be unveiled mid June.

 

The Digital Africa association congratulates all the entrepreneurs who have applied.
