Africa's Business Heroes

Profile

Africa's Business Heroes (ABH) is the Jack Ma Foundation's flagship philanthropic program in Africa to support entrepreneurs. Our mission is to showcase and grow local talent who are creating positive impact in their communities and beyond, and inspire a movement of African entrepreneurship.

Every year, ABH host the continent’s largest and most inclusive entrepreneurial competitions. Eventually, ten outstanding finalists are selected to compete in the ABH Grand Finale, where they showcase their businesses for a chance to win a share of $1.5 million in grant funding. Beyond funding, ABH provides the finalists with capacity-building, mentorship, and enhanced exposure.
