Over 200 submissions were received from more than 24 countries, including Burundi, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Zambia, Mali, Morocco, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Chad, and Rwanda. The 10 ventures, representing sectors such as fintech, insurtech, healthtech, agritech, and cleantech, were chosen for their innovative ideas and potential to drive significant impact across the continent.

Recently released data from the startup funding tracker Africa: The Big Deal reveals that fintech accounted for nearly half of all startup funding in 2024. Among the four largest fundraisers was Moniepoint, which secured $110 million in a Series C round, valuing the company at over $1 billion and making it Africa's eighth Unicorn. While the African startup ecosystem has experienced a slump in recent years, funding activities are projected to recover in 2025, driven by innovative startups and growing investor interest.

The selected ventures will present their solutions to industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and global investors. They Include:
