During her back-to-school conference, Kim Younes, president of TV5MONDE, highlighted NOUVEAUX BOSS, which aims to showcase African youth.
This new program will be broadcast in more than 200 countries over eight weeks and is the first audiovisual competition to give global visibility to innovators from the continent and celebrate the French-speaking economy.
NOUVEAUX BOSS will be broadcast on all TV5 Monde channels in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Monaco, Africa (Dakar time), and the Maghreb-Orient region (Rabat time) from December 5, 2025, to January 23, 2026, every Friday evening at 9:00 p.m.
The program will be broadcast every Saturday from December 6, 2025, to January 24, 2026, in Europe (11 p.m. in Paris/Berlin), Asia (8 p.m. in Bangkok), the Pacific (7 p.m. in Tokyo), the United States (11:30 p.m. in New York), and Latin America (11 p.m. in Buenos Aires).
Reminder of the selection process
More than 1,000 African entrepreneurs applied to participate in this unique competition.
Only 16 of them will pass the selection stage held in Benin, Ivory Coast, Morocco, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
They will join La Station, an entrepreneurial residence where they will be supported by four mentors: A'Salfo, Nicole Sulu, Claude Borna, and Yassine Laghzioui, as well as renowned speakers, including Olympic judo champion Teddy Riner.
On the agenda: workshops, masterclasses, and role-playing exercises.
After eight weeks, ten of them will reach the grand finale to defend their project before an international jury of investors composed of Elisabeth Moreno (Ring Capital), Hasnae Taleb (Mintiply Capital), and Ali Mnif (Digital Africa).
