Selected projects will receive assistance to finalize their application and polish their pitch. The winner will also gain international visibility and an “incubation package.”
The Tech4Good Challenge is a great opportunity for project holders who wish to develop a startup useful to the environment and society.
As a reminder, this challenge is part of a series of activities submitted to the ‘Community Fund French Tech 2021’ led by the Mission French Tech in France. This project, coordinated by the French Tech community of Cape Town in South Africa, was approved as a collective project of eight French Tech communities in Africa, and supported by Business France.
You can follow this challenge and encourage the candidates by regularly checking the social media pages of La French Tech Maurice.
The organizers of the Tech4Good Challenge wish the best to the candidates and reiterate their thanks to the stakeholders of this challenge.
