From Uganda to Cape Town: Waape Takes the Uganda Crown at the national GEC+ Africa Pitch Competition.

Obugalo 👏👏👏👏and Drumroll, please! 🥁🥁🥁

We had the usual honorable duty and privilege to award the Uganda representative Global Entrepreneurship Congress + Africa pitch competition to the innovative Ugandan startup, Waape! 👏👏👏

Organized by Global Entrepreneurship Network Uganda 🇺🇬 , in collaboration with The Global Entrepreneurship Congress (GEC+Africa) and Enterprise Uganda, the + Africa Regional Pitch Competition sought out the brightest minds and most promising startups across Uganda. 💡💡💡

Eligible startups included pre-seed or seed-stage ventures with at least a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), as well as non-tech startups or post-revenue SMMEs. 💻📱📈

After a rigorous selection process, participating startups underwent a preparatory bootcamp and pitched their heart out to a panel of expert judges. 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Waape, the brainchild of a talented Ugandan team, emerged as the overall winner, captivating the judges with their innovative solution and promising future. 🏆🥇🏆

As the Ugandan champion, Waape has secured an all-expenses-paid trip to Cape Town, South Africa, for the GEC+ Cape Town event. ✈️🌍✈️

There, Waape will have the chance to pitch their groundbreaking concept to a global audience and compete for a share of a staggering $100,000 in investment! 💰💸💰

This is a remarkable achievement for Waape, and I couldn’t be more proud of their success. Their victory is a testament to the incredible talent and entrepreneurial spirit that exists in Uganda. 🇺🇬💪🇺🇬

Congratulations once again to Waape, and I wish them the best of luck as they represent Uganda on the global stage! 🌎✨🚀
