After an edition focused on female inclusion, the French Development Agency (AFD) officially launched the fourth edition of its Digital Challenge.
For this new edition, organized jointly with the Digital Africa label, the AFD wanted to combine the challenge of digital transition with that of sustainable cities, in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11. The competition, dedicated to digital innovations, will therefore bring together startups, research centers, and associations working to develop sustainable cities in Africa.
The call for projects has already been launched, with a deadline of November 18. Ten winners will then be selected to receive personalized guidance and financial support to develop their projects.
