Kenya’s MamaPrime and Uganda’s Teheca emerged winners at Sanofi’s AfricaTech competition which was supposed to be part of the canceled VivaTech 2020 Global Challenge.

MamaPrime and Teheca were part of an online final challenge organized by Sanofi following the cancellation of the 2020 edition of VivaTech that was to be held in Paris, France due to the global pandemic.

The two are set to receive partnership opportunities with Sanofi in the realization of the projects and innovation in their local markets.

The two are part of the five start-ups that were announced winners during the final of the Sanofi AfricaTech challenges (the African lab of Viva Technology) which was conducted online. The five were selected from a pool of 11 start-ups who pitched at the finals of the challenge. This year, Sanofi received a total of 268 application from 34 countries across the continent.

The five include;
