Entrepreneuriat tech africain
Digital Africa accompagne les entrepreneurs tech africains en phase d’amorçage, quel que soit leur secteur d’activité, pour transformer leurs idées en solutions à impact.
French government-backed initiative (via AFD/Proparco) to support African digital entrepreneurs. Most active investor in Africa by deal count in 2025 (13+ deals). Fuzé is their investment vehicle. Partnership with Orange Ventures across 23 countries via Orange Digital Centers. Multiple programs for different stages and sectors. Strong Francophone Africa presence with growing Anglophone reach.
Acceleration, mentorship, co-working spaces (Orange Digital Centers), investor introductions, market access to French/European markets
French government funding means bureaucratic elements. Historically Francophone-focused may limit Anglophone deal understanding.
Make sure your application clearly shows that your startup is tech-enabled, active in Africa, and at pre-seed or seed stage. A strong pitch deck is specifically required, so use it to explain the problem, solution, traction, and why your startup fits Digital Africa’s early-stage focus.
