Our objective is to identify and leverage innovative and sometimes disruptive technologies to respond to our continent’s infrastructure challenges.
We are open to collaborations that include large tech companies, as well as entities from the start-up ecosystem, private investors and the public sector, to bring projects to fruition.
Our distinguished advisory board members represent leading
institutions and provide insight and strategic advice to the Innovation Challenge team.
As a pan-African investment entity we are committed to contribute to solving our continent’s most critical and pressing development challenges. Internet connectivity is a key driver for inclusive growth, provided it is accessible, affordable, easy-to-use, and adapted to people’s needs. This Challenge is an exciting opportunity for us to engage with the most creative minds to find novel solutions that can help address all these factors and tackle last mile connectivity in a holistic and sustainable manner. We see this as a huge opportunity and are ready to work with savvy investors and innovators, acting as a bridge to regulators and governments.
The innovation challenge team is led by the Chief Operating Officer of
Africa50 and is composed of members from our communications and investment teams
