Applications are now open for the second edition of the AfCFTA Digital Innovation Challenge.

Held under the theme, “Realising the AfCFTA for MSMEs through Digital Solutions,” the Challenge seeks bold, scalable and innovative digital solutions that can enhance intra-African trade and unlock new opportunities for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).

The initiative invites innovators, entrepreneurs, startups and technology developers from across Africa to showcase solutions that can help businesses connect to markets, facilitate cross-border trade and accelerate inclusive economic growth under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

If your digital solution has the potential to make cross-border trade more accessible, efficient and inclusive, this is your opportunity to contribute to the future of digital trade in Africa.
