The winning startup will join the global Seedstars Family and take part in the regional and global Seedstars Summits that include a tried and tested bootcamp and investor forum. It’s a catalytic platform for high growth emerging market start-ups.
“Participants can look forward to an event filled with disruptive tech, inspirational discussions, networking sessions and one flight ticket for the winner to come to Switzerland to compete for over US$1million in investment,” said
Dr Cadx’ Gift Gana who won last year said, “We engaged with lots of start-ups from Africa and other emerging countries who are using technology to create solutions to solve problems in our context.
“These range from healthcare, logistics, education, entertainment, transportation, connectivity, etc. So provided the entrepreneurship environment continues to be improved through constructive support from all stakeholders including the entrepreneurs, government, investors and corporates, we will see a strong tech economy in Africa.”
