In its first edition, the Award has received more than 300 applications from 33 countries from across Africa. A technical review team of leading global health and business organisations reviewed and selected the shortlist of 15 applicants.

This review also assessed the ability of the team to take the innovation to the next stage of development.
“From cold storage solutions to diagnostic tools, 3D printing solutions, and training platforms for healthcare workers – we are extremely impressed by the applications selected for the shortlist. These applications are a shining example that young Africans are passionate about contributing to overcoming our continent’s most pressing healthcare challenges,” says Yacine Djibo, Executive Director of Speak Up Africa.
The winners’ announcement will take place at the official Awards ceremony on Thursday, 16 September 2021. Winners will receive funding worth up to a combined $75,000, a three-month mentorship programme and technical support for intellectual property protection if needed.
