    This is the fourth (4th) cycle of the programme. TEF Founder, serial entrepreneur and philanthropist Tony O. Elumelu, committed to a 10-year, period to make available $100 million to identify, train, mentor and fund 10,000 African entrepreneurs by 2024.

We have unleashed a movement of African entrepreneurs — a force so strong, so inspiring, that I am confident they will collectively transform Africa. We need Africa’s best and brightest entrepreneurs to come learn, grow their businesses and build our continent.”

    1,000 entrepreneurs will be selected based on the viability of their idea, including: market opportunity; financial understanding; scalability; and leadership and entrepreneurial skills demonstrated in the application.
