This year, VivaTech organizes the fourth edition of the AfricaTech Awards. This pan-African initiative recognizes and supports startups striving to make a positive impact.
Startups provide vital solutions to major global challenges and help foster sustainable development.
Despite increasing investor interest, startups across the African continent often struggle to raise the capital necessary to scale their business.
