Applications for the 2025 Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation.
Applications for the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation 2025 will open on Thursday 13 June at the Africa Prize final event, this year being held in Nairobi. We will be launching applications for the next cycle as we celebrate the achievements of the previous cohort at the final pitch event celebration.
In preparation for applications opening, we recommend you attend the Africa Prize final pitch event either online or in person in Nairobi. This will give you valuable insight into what being part of the Africa Prize community is all about and how best to draft your application.
The Africa Prize is looking for engineers and entrepreneurs who have developed, or are in the process of developing, a new technological innovation. Applicants should have the ambition to take a leading role in creating a new business to commercialise this innovation. Innovations must aim to promote the welfare and economic development of a country or countries in sub–Saharan Africa and be designed to address a development need or specific challenge facing that country.
