Throughout the day, the finalists showcased bold, scalable solutions addressing critical challenges across the continent. The Finale was more than a competition; it was a celebration of resilience, ingenuity, and Africa’s entrepreneurial excellence.

Following the initial round of pitches, the leading finalists advanced to a deeper engagement with the judges, where discussions explored leadership journeys, operational strength, scalability, and long-term impact. After careful deliberation, the judges crowned the 2025 winners, recognizing ventures that demonstrated exceptional vision, execution, and transformative potential.

The 7th Grand Finale marked the culmination of the 2025 competition journey and reaffirmed ABH’s commitment to supporting entrepreneurs who are actively shaping Africa’s future.

The success of the Grand Finale was made possible through the invaluable support of our key sponsors and outreach partners, whose continued commitment is helping shape Africa’s entrepreneurial future across the continent. Powered by the Jack Ma Foundation, Alibaba Philanthropy, and support from the Rwanda Development Board, the event was also strengthened by our Catalyst sponsors- Gebeya, Bank of Kigali, Jasiri, and Inkomoko, whose partnership helped extend the Summit’s reach and deepen its impact.

We are equally grateful to our Outreach Partners—MTN Rwanda, Hanga Pitchfest, BPN Rwanda, Impact Hub Kigali, African Leadership University, Carnegie Mellon University–Africa, Kepler College, and Norrsken Africa, for mobilising entrepreneurial communities across the continent. With additional support from Kabisa and Kozo Kigali, who ensured seamless mobility and hospitality, this shared effort turned vision into reality proving that Africa’s entrepreneurial future is built together. We also thank all the dedicated volunteers whose commitment, energy, and behind-the-scenes efforts helped extend the Summit and Grand Finale’s reach and bring every moment to life.
