Africa Digital Innovation Competition: The Judges

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-Africa Business Center convened its first annual Africa Digital Innovation Competition for African Startups. Out of 1,700 candidates from 50 countries in Africa, a panel of judges selected 10 regional finalists. Three top finalists were chosen in October, and the final ranked winners will be announced in December during the U.S.-Africa Leader's Summit. VOA’s Paul Ndiho hosted a virtual chat with the panel of continental judges, an accrediting partner representative and the executive director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S. Africa Business Center.
