This platform will be a space to allow innovative entrepreneurs in Africa to find the resources and contacts necessary for their development and for the growth of their projects (non-profit and startups) by federating the communities of knowledge and initiatives and by rendering available the shared resources by the partners of the Digital Africa initiative.
