Africa Business Heroes Competition | $1.5 Million Grants 2024

Africa Business Heroes (ABH) seeks to recognize, encourage, and inspire the next generation of African entrepreneurs who are making a difference in their communities, addressing critical issues, and creating a more sustainable and inclusive economy for the future.

Details:

The Africa Business Heroes project seeks to be as inclusive as possible. Applications are open in English and French to entrepreneurs of all ages, industries, and African countries who own and operate enterprises formally registered and located in an African country and have a three-year track record.

Every year, ten finalists will be chosen to participate in the ABH grand finale pitch competition. These finalists also get a lot of exposure via the high-quality video narratives ABH creates about their tales and ABH adventures. Throughout the process, we collaborate with local media and influencers throughout the continent to acquire interviews that highlight their enterprises and the effect they are having. The finalists compete for a grant of $1.5 million.
