The Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship Programme is a tool for implementing this vision. The programme is open to young compelling businesses with strong market feasibility, clear financial models and run by capable teams.

Selection into the programme has been a thorough process with no quotas of any kind to simply identify the game changers in the continent. The programme will support selected Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurs through the 7 Pillars of TEEP, a framework that includes mentorship, online and live learning, as well as access to information, networking and seed capital.

In our own submission, we see this as a great opportunity for Africa and we hold a strong belief that this foundation shall be a formidable force to reckon with in the whole of Africa for a long time.
