The Heroes are back!

Building a better Africa, one entrepreneur at a time.

Hello Venturers,

Have you heard about Africa's Business Heroes (ABH)? ABH is more than just a competition; it's a comprehensive support system designed to empower African entrepreneurs. They offer financial backing, global recognition, access to an exclusive network, mentorship, and training programs.

“ABH means re-revolution.”

— Fred Swaniker, co-founder of the African Leadership Acadedemy (ALA)

Calling all African entrepreneurs!

The 2024 ABH prize competition seeks innovators with a 3-year track record of addressing local challenges and driving impact. ABH offers a comprehensive support package, including grant funding of up to $300,000, global recognition, mentorship, training, and valuable business insights.

Anyone can apply! ABH encourages applications from entrepreneurs of all ages, genders, and industries across all 54 African countries.
