CALL FOR APPLICATIONS | Bloomberg Announces the Inaugural ‘Africa Startups to Watch List’

Bloomberg is thrilled to announce the launch of the inaugural Africa Startups to Watch List.

Two decades ago, an African company transformed mobile money, enabling millions to access banking without a solid financial infrastructure. Today, Africa still faces significant challenges – like providing electricity to 600 million people, tackling climate change, and increasing agricultural productivity.

However, the continent’s startups are now leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including generative artificial intelligence, to address these issues and improve the lives of its youthful population.

Bloomberg has announced that, for the first time, it is on the lookout for the most innovative founders and ideas from across Africa.

If your startup aims to solve critical challenges, boasts a unique concept that has impressed investors and customers, and is privately held, they want to hear from you!
