Jack Ma Foundation encourages Ethiopian entrepreneurs to apply for African Business Heroes (ABH) launched today (April 13, 2023). ABH is a philanthropic initiative sponsored by the Jack Ma Foundation and Alibaba Philanthropy in Africa to support entrepreneurs. Over a ten-year period, the program will recognize 100 African entrepreneurs and provide grant funding, training programs, and broader support for the broad African entrepreneurial ecosystem. Jack Ma, Founder of Alibaba Group, and the Jack Ma Foundation, created the grant after he made his first trip to Africa in 2017 and was inspired by the energy and entrepreneurial potential of the young people he met. Every year since the first edition in 2019 entrepreneurs from across Africa apply and go through several rounds of rigorous evaluation conducted by ABH judges.
