ALN has hosted the Africa Awards for Entrepreneurship (AAE) since 2012. AAE was established in 2007 by the Legatum Group to recognise business leaders who demonstrate innovation, profitability and business excellence, while serving as role models to inspire Africa’s next generation of entrepreneurs.
Over the past decade, AAE has attracted over 7,000 applications and awarded prizes worth over $1.8million to distinguished entrepreneurs in four business categories of Transformational, Mature Business, Growing Business and Social Impact.
