For A Chance to Win The $1,000 Grand Prize, Join The "Beam Africa For Change Challenge"
This is a call to the African innovators with disruptive ideas to join the “Beam Africa For Change Challenge”
During the recent video AMA featuring Beam’s CTO and a prominent player in the African crypto space, we learnt a great deal of the challenges faced by millions of Africans across the continent. We think this can be an opportunity for the entrepreneurial African, to solve these challenges, and create a product or startup in the process.
So, Beam Africa, together with the Beam core team is organizing a competition to challenge the digital native African to work on his/her dream. All it takes is an idea, as we all know, working on a good idea, is much better than having a good idea. And the goal of this challenge is to get participants to take the first step of building a remarkable product/startup, which is to articulate The Idea.
So, do you have an innovative idea that can
Promote the mass adoption of cryptocurrency?
Has the potential to scale to millions of people across Africa and the rest of the world?
Utilize technology to solve a crucial problem affecting many Africans?
Then we invite you to take this challenge and build towards the innovative future of Africa!
About the Challenge.
We are looking for Africans with innovative ideas and the willingness to build those ideas into products or startups that can serve the African people and the rest of the world. This idea has to resonate with the use of blockchain, and cryptocurrency as we are strong believers of this technology.
The best idea wins our grand prize, and also gets support from the Beam dev team in the development of the product and possibly further funding and promotion.
