Africa Women Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum (AWIEF), has selected 22 women entrepreneurs as finalists in its annual awards in a move to promote excellence in entrepreneurship and innovation amongst women-owned businesses across Africa.

The Awards take place on the last evening of the two-day event, October 29-30, 2019, in Cape Town.

The 22 women founders and entrepreneurs have been selected as finalists, from different African countries, across 8 different categories. The AWIEF Awards Panel of Judges is made up of high-calibre industry experts and thought leaders spread across the continent.

According to Irene Ochem, AWIEF Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Women-owned businesses are growing on the continent and are a vital part of Africa’s future and contributing to the fact that seven out of 10 of the fastest growing economies in the world, are to be found in Africa. Africa is rising and we must make sure the women of the continent, the backbone of our communities and our families, are given the opportunities to rise as well.”

The 22 were selected from over 200 shortlists for consideration and will be showcased to top investors signing up for its upcoming Award Programme Subscription that will be launched in 2020 to help identify the best female start-ups in Africa across key industries such as Agri, Tech, FinTech, Chemicals and Healthcare.

The finalists for the 2019 AWIEF Awards are:
