The Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship Program (TEEP), was established specifically to help aspiring entrepreneurs and small businesses overcome these challenges, so that cumulative ideas across Africa can be fused to transform the continent.
The program aims to identify and help grow an initial 10,000 start-ups and young businesses across Africa, over the next 10 years. Those businesses should go on to create an estimated 1,000,000 new jobs, and $10 billion in annual revenues.
The program includes a comprehensive 12-week business skills acquisition course, followed by mentoring, a world-class business exhibition event, and of course, seed funding.
Additional details about the program, including the application process, eligibility, requirements and selection process are available on the Tony Elumelu Foundation website at: www.tonyelumelufoundation.org/TEEP.
