Afritech XYZ Innovation Prize is on the lookout for Africa’s best early-stage tech innovations.
Africa is the next frontier of the human population. With over 2.2 billion people expected to live on the African continent in 2050, a lot needs to be done now to ensure that we, Africans, have the skills and tools necessary to build and develop our communities.
