Today, the African Development Bank officially launch ENNOVA, a platform for business growth and innovation.
They welcome startup founders to a community designed to accelerate their entrepreneurial journey.
Ennova is a flagship initiative of the African Development Bank’s long-term strategy to improve inclusive economic development and to accelerate investment in the African Youth. Its vision is threefold:
To nurture a new generation of African innovators who launch the continent into an era of accelerated prosperity.
To leverage key relationships to foster a climate in which African entrepreneurs become engines of economic growth and job creation.
To empower young African entrepreneurs, and women in particular, to secure levels of funding similar to their peers in the industrialized world.
