ALX is calling for applications for the 2022 ALX Young Entrepreneurs Programme for Africans. Are you a young African entrepreneur that has a product or service people can use and pay for right now, and you are ready to launch this product or service to the world? If yes, this programme is for you.
Africa is home to some of the world’s most forward-thinking entrepreneurs. Young Africans are proving that no matter the idea, or how simple a solution is, they are creating impactful change in the lives of others in communities around the globe. With ALX’s Young Entrepreneurs Programme, we’ve made it our mission to support those who want to solve problems, build businesses, generate revenue, and create jobs.
ALX is committed to supporting young entrepreneurs in building thriving businesses across Africa.

We welcome you to apply and join a community of like-minded peers with a network of experienced entrepreneurs to support your venture.
