African Impact Challenge 2026 for Innovators

The African Impact Challenge supports early-stage innovators under 39 across Africa in building technology-enabled businesses that address critical local challenges. Participants receive capacity building through a virtual bootcamp, track-based funding via investments or grants, international market exposure with covered travel, and ongoing investor support. The program operates two streams: Health Entrepreneurship (pan-African health tech ventures) and Country Innovation (Nigerian ventures across any sector this year).
