Up to 38 percent of these start-ups are led by women, and 17 percent operate within Francophone Africa. Innovators are building online pharmacies and telemedicine firms, as well as inventory management services for pharmacies, clinics, and hospitals, supply chain data analytics, product protection, and product visibility.

In November, the innovators will attend a two-day event in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, where they will connect with industry stakeholders, donors, and multilateral agencies.
