The African Entrepreneurship Award by BMCE Bank of Africa Now Accepting Submissions From Individuals Looking for Mentoring to Launch or Grow their Business or Idea in Africa?
Are you looking for mentoring to launch or grow your business or idea in Africa? Join the journey to receive free, online mentoring from over 400 entrepreneurs, investors and business owners.
Then Submit your business idea proposal to
the African Entrepreneurship Award to embark on a journey that puts
you at the center of a community of entrepreneurs and mentors in Africa
and around the world.
As a community, they are dedicated to helping you
improve your business idea and achieve your goals of building something
awesome in Africa.
The Award Journey is made up of 4
rounds of mentoring and starts by you taking a few minutes to submit an
idea for Round 1. Once you hit the submit button, you begin a journey
with real entrepreneurs who have been where you are today.
You
may be asking yourself this whole time why you would be submitting your
golden idea to the African Entrepreneurship Award. What are you getting
out of this? They are not seeking to capitalize on ideas. Rather, they

launch and scale your business. They will finance and help build your
idea into a sustainable business that employs people, improves your
economy, and impacts lives in Africa.
