The World Economic Forum (WEF) is searching for top leading female tech innovators in Africa to come and share their experiences and engage with leaders at the Forum’s regional meeting this spring.
The contest is open to any female entrepreneur whose business is less than three years old, uses innovative technology or business models, and has at least one year of revenue generation. The business must also be able to demonstrate social and economic potential.
“Africa’s best prospects for inclusive growth lie in its ability to tap into its vast pool of entrepreneurial talent,” said Elsie Kanza, Head of Africa at the World Economic Forum. “We want Africa’s top female tech entrepreneurs to join us so we can celebrate them as role models and so they can help governments and policymakers create conditions for others to flourish.”
Any woman can apply or if you’d like to nominate someone you know, you can do so here by Monday, April 17.
This is the second year the WEF is running this competition. Last year’s winners were inspiring women working on everything from solar-powered vending carts to paperless health insurance.
