On friday 27th of September, we had a successful pitching session for startups, for the Transform Africa Entrepreneurship 3.0S Workshop and Competition to be held in Kigali from October 28th – 31st 2013.
As a part of the Transform Africa Summit, the regionally focused and highly interactive E.3.0 S program will bring together 25 high-potential technology startups from around Africa to help enhance four capacities that strongly contribute to the success and growth of startups: Knowledge, network, financial and core (team motivation). The top five startups will also be awarded innovation grants.

All the pitches were great, and saw amazing products.
