This year, one particular project caught the eye of the international jury, who decided to award it the Jury’s Favourite Prize. The winner was Burkina Faso’s SOBATIC, an organisation that provides training and also designs IT tools for people with impaired vision.

Since 2011, the prizes awarded have been in recognition of innovative projects and start-ups associated with the use of mobile phones that have an impact on society, by improving the quality of life of people in Africa and the Middle East in the fields of education, healthcare, agriculture, or mobile payment, e-commerce or even sustainable development.

Since its creation, more than 30 international prizewinners have shared a total of €500,000 and 75 people have benefited from 6 months of coaching and mentoring offered by Orange and its partners.
