The BMCE Group Bank of Africa is now announcing the final Round of the 2nd edition of the African Entrepreneurship Award, an initiative to support African entrepreneurs by rewarding talent and technology transcending borders.
After 3 Rounds of online mentoring 37 finalists from 22 African countries have been selected for the final phase that will take place during a Bootcamp in Casablanca from 1 -4 December 2016. Candidates will be prepared for their final presentation through coaching and personal training sessions.
On 5 December, the day following the coaching sessions, a closing ceremony will take place rewarding the most social and sustainable projects in the three categories of the programme: Education, Environment, and Uncharted Domains.
Last year, 10 entrepreneurs shared the $1 million grant with business across eight countries in Africa.
The winners will be assessed by a prestigious jury of international business leaders and entrepreneurs.

The 2016 edition of the African Entrepreneurship Award gathered over 7,000 applications from 105 countries including all 54 African and has extended its network to 180 partners/mentors from Africa, Europe, Asia and North America.
