The competition, now in its fifth year, is sponsored by the Jack Ma Foundation and Alibaba Philanthropy to shine a spotlight on African entrepreneurs making a positive impact in their communities.
Contestants have the opportunity to not only showcase their talent and business ideas but also inspire others to pursue entrepreneurship as a career option. In Rwanda, Albert Munyabugingo, the CEO and co-founder of Vuba Vuba Africa, becomes the fifth finalist at the Grand Finale, since the competition's inception. In previous editions, four Rwandan entrepreneurs have won grants exceeding $385,000, equivalent to over Rwf455 million.
Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba Group and the Jack Ma Foundation, created the prize after he made his first trip to Africa in 2017 and was inspired by the energy and entrepreneurial potential of the young people he met. The Africa's Business Heroes is inviting entrepreneurs, investors, and other business enthusiasts in and outside Rwanda to be part of the 2023 ABH Summit and Grand Finale.There was a problem processing your submission.
