The TEF Entrepreneurship Forum is the
largest gathering of African entrepreneurs, showcasing the innovation and
entrepreneurial potential that exists in Africa – the next generation of
African Business Titans. Held over two days, this dynamic platform allows the
Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurs to form networks, share knowledge, build cross

supply chains, influence policy makers and business leaders participating in
the Forum.

Tony Elumelu, Founder, the Tony
Elumelu Foundation is a firm believer that
entrepreneurship is the cornerstone to economic development and that African
entrepreneurship is central to Africa’s future prosperity. The biggest
opportunities in the coming decade will be created by Africans who start
businesses, generate jobs and wealth, and capture growth opportunities.

There are many advantages of
supporting home-grown businesses across Africa. They have deep insights into
consumer demand and can spot gaps in the market for specific products and
services. They can tap into strong networks and often exhibit a burning drive
to create innovative, often disruptive, solutions to complex challenges. These
are the people who are fueling Africa’s future. They have truly brilliant ideas
but often lack the capital, the training or the support to structure their
savvy commercial instincts into a scalable business plan and then execute it.
Tony Elumelu believes we can’t afford to waste this talent.

That is why in December
2014, he launched the one hundred million dollar Tony Elumelu Foundation
Entrepreneurship Programme to empower the next generation of African
entrepreneurs. Providing ten thousand dollars to one thousand entrepreneurs,
every year for the next ten years. Over the next 10 years, our goal is to
create 10,000 African-owned businesses, generating 1,000,000 jobs and
contributing $10 billion to revenues across Africa.

African entrepreneurs in front and centre on the global
stage. Through our ground breaking
programme
we are democratising opportunity, laying the Foundation
for many businesses to grow and flourish across the continent, creating new
partnerships and trade routes both within Africa and internationally.

Africa is at a crossroads: by 2030 it
will be home to the world’s largest working age population. Moreover, Africa
have swathes of arable land that has yet to be optimally utilized and its
natural resources remain plentiful. However, without dynamic entrepreneurs,
creating value in the production chain all of these natural endowments and the
physical advantage of having a young working population will be lost. My hope
and aim is that the TEF Entrepreneurship Forum and all of the activities we
have anchored on unleashing African entrepreneurs will not only succeed but
exceed our expectations.
