The AGS Enterprise Challenge is a first of its kind pitch competition for female led businesses that contribute to the Nigerian Economy.
The program was launched in 2018 to showcase, empower and fund female led businesses across Nigeria. Since inception, countless female entrepreneurs have been showcased through an online pitch competition and 6 women have been successfully awarded grants. This years edition is proudly sponsored by Platform Capital.
The Competition is designed to promote the birth of more businesses that can end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. The competition will ensure that female led startups gain exposure, valuable feedback and grants to take their business to the next level. The program would include a pitch competition, presentations from business experts and a question and answer session. The goal is to build a network of inclusive businesses and opportunities for collaborations that would assist with promoting business sustainability across Africa over the next 10 years.
