A pitch competition to showcase and support African entrepreneurs who have developed solutions to support Africa’s fight against the coronavirus.

Entrepreneurs will “pitch” their ideas, and will be questioned by a judging panel comprised of a seasoned group of innovation investment experts.
Welcome Address by Professor Tarun Khanna, Harvard Business School
Judges Panel inclues Juliet Ehimuan, Director - West Africa, Google, Andile Ngcaba, Founding Partner and Chairman Convergence Partners, Eric Osiakwan, Managing Partner, Chanzo Capital, and Adrian Vermooten, Head of Digital Innovations, Standard Bank.
