2023 marks the 5th anniversary of Africa’s Business Heroes (ABH) — a milestone that reflects five years of empowering African entrepreneurs across the continent. From nearly 100,000 applications and over 1,000 volunteer judges, ABH has grown into a dynamic network of visionaries. Our Top 10 heroes from past 5 years, representing 52 African countries, have collectively served more than 37.5 million customers, raised over $153 million in funding, and created over 123,000 jobs. With 42% of our finalists being women, ABH continues to champion inclusive innovation rooted in African insight, driven by African impact.
