Nominations for the women tech entrepreneurs awards can be submitted across eight categories that include the Tech Entrepreneur Award, Young Entrepreneur Awards, and the Social Entrepreneur Award.
The deadline for nominations is 15 May.
The Africa Women Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum (Awief) has opened a call for nominations for Women Tech Entrepreneurs, the 2019 Awief Awards.
Now in their third year, the awards are meant to highlight and celebrate the achievements of women entrepreneurs and business leaders who contribute to the transformation and development of Africa’s economy by creating jobs and opportunities across the continent.
Each year the AWIEF Awards recognise, honour and celebrate Women Entrepreneurs and Business Owners in Africa and across industry sectors, for their economic performance and contribution to Africa’s growth and social development. AWIEF salutes these women for their passion and determination in making a difference in their countries and on the continent.
The AWIEF Awards cover emerging and established entrepreneurship in the private and not-for-profit sectors. Pioneers or not, AWIEF Awards candidates are women who have demonstrated outstanding vision and inspiration, and have overcome challenges to make a significant social impact and/or become successful in their businesses along AWIEF’s core areas of innovation, technology, entrepreneurship, leadership, and socio-economic development.
Nominations for the awards can be submitted across eight categories that include the Tech Entrepreneur Award, Young Entrepreneur Awards, and the Social Entrepreneur Award. The deadline for nominations is 15 May.
Thereafter, Awief will shortlist five nominees across each of the eight categories to attend the awards.
This year’s awards will take place during the annual Africa Women Innovation and Entrepreneurship conference and exhibition which will be held on 29 and 30 October in Cape Town.
