Entrepreneurs seeking to clinch a share of $1 Million of The Africa Netpreneur Prize Initiative courtesy of the Jack Ma Foundation are urged to apply before the June 30th deadline.

The Prize which officially began calling for applications on March 27th 2019 aims to support and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs who are building a more sustainable and inclusive economy for the future. It is open to mission-driven African entrepreneurs from all countries, sectors and age groups. 

Every year, 10 finalists will be selected to compete in a finale pitch competition that will be broadcast across the continent. All ten finalists will gain access to the Netpreneur community of African business leaders to leverage the community’s shared expertise, best practice and resources.

Global leaders Graca Machel, Chair of the Graca Machel Trust Board and Ban Ki-moon, Former UN Secretary-General and Co-chair of the Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens serve on the ANPI advisory board.

Alibaba Group Executive Chairman Jack Ma first created the prize after he made his first trip to Africa in July 2017 and was inspired by the energy and entrepreneurial potential of the young people he met. The Prize is open to entrepreneurs from all industries, and Ma especially encouraged those running small businesses, those making a difference in their local communities and female entrepreneurs to apply.

To qualify for a share of the $1Million Africa Netpreneur Prize, entrepreneurs are urged to consider the following:

·       All applications are done online on www.netpreneur.africa website. As part of the process, each applicant MUST first create a profile of themselves.
