Moov Africa started the Moov Africa Start Up Challenge in Togo as a competition for business owners. The project’s first edition launched on August 12 and is the one that is now in use.
The challenge is being implemented throughout all markets where the Maroc Telecom company does business in an effort to promote “modern and innovation entrepreneurship” as well as digital transformation. Additionally, it should “identify, support, promote, and finance startup founders in Togo, those who have the courage and audacity to start new projects, and who believe, like us, in this country’s enormous potential,” according to Abdellah Tabhiret, managing director of the group’s Togolese subsidiary.
Regardless of the field of activity, submitted projects must have an influence on communities (health, finance, agriculture, tech, etc.). Before the worldwide finals, where the champions from each country will compete, there will be a number of stages (application submission, pre-selection, acceleration programs including training and support sessions, and country finals).
The top three winners will get 6, 3, and 2 million CFA, respectively. The registration deadline is August 28, 2022.
