Five years ago, AIF initiated the IPA to support African innovators by unlocking their potential and catalyzing the African innovation spirit, promoting home-grown solutions for Africa’s prosperity.
We seek to:
Increase Africa’s prosperity through investing in home-grown innovations and entrepreneurship.
Strengthen African innovation ecosystems through our platforms and mobilize a network of innovation enablers, driving business development and cross-collaboration.
Demonstrate that African ingenuity exists at a Pan African level through honoring outstanding innovations and recognizing their positive impact in Africa and beyond.
Today, IPA is a leading platform on the African innovation landscape; it has a network of 6000+ African innovators spanning 50 countries; 45 of the continent’s top innovators and 35+ innovation enablers.
