Over the last eight months, the Royal Academy of Engineering has provided 16 talented entrepreneurs from across Africa with training, mentoring, and support to turn their engineering innovations into scalable businesses that can transform the continent.
For the final event in their programme, you’re invited to join us in a night of celebration as the innovators pitch their work to our panel of expert judges. At the culmination of the night, three finalists will be awarded with £15,000 each, while judges select one winner to receive £50,000 to further their work. Plus, you’ll get the opportunity to vote for the pitch with the biggest impact – with the audience choice taking home a £5,000 ‘One-to-Watch’ award.
As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation, take part in this landmark event to connect with the innovators, investors, and other distinguished guests including 80 alumni from a decade of the prize. Each is having a huge impact on their community with local solutions to local challenges; together, the network is transforming Africa.
