Innovation Prize for Africa

[Valentine Dushimiyimana]

Dear activist ,

Here there is our opportunity, if someone in our group have time to develop a project we can apply for this prize.

Regards

Valentine.

The Innovation Prize for Africa (IPA) – an initiative of the African Innovation Foundation – provides $150,000 USD to winners who develop African solutions to African challenges.  We would like to partner with you to encourage applications for the Prize by the 30 November, 2013 deadline. 

 

The IPA is focused on identifying innovations in five key areas: 1) agriculture and agribusiness;  2) environment, energy and water; 3) health and wellbeing;  4) information & communication technology; and 5) manufacturing and service industry. If your organisation does not focus on these areas or you know someone better suited to champion this effort to promote African-led development, please let us know urgently. 

 

The IPA is more than a prize – it is a movement of African scientists, entrepreneurs, venture investors and policymakers who believe that the best way to sustain Africa’s current economic growth is to scale up the good ideas that already exist on the continent.  We would like you to be an important part of this movement. 

 

Best,

 

Precious Nkabinde
