The presenters of the four companies are trying to solve the problems in Africa. They have over 10 years of experiences on their industries and have high growth potential, not only in terms of English language skills, but also in terms of the fact that many of them have business models that are looking at global issues related to human life and communication. If they are well matched, potential investments can be expected.

After the pitches, there were many questions from the audience, and currently there are some Japanese venture capital and companies have shown interest in the participated startups and looking forward for individual interview.
