VilCap Hardware: Africa Venture Forum

Join Village Capital for our flagship event in the first hardware accelerator in Africa.  The Venture Forum is the culmination of a 3-month workshop and an exciting opportunity to meet face-to-face with entrepreneurs from around the continent who have developed the next generation of  “invention-based” hardware solutions that improve access to energy for all and increase agricultural productivity for small-holder farmers. The afternoon will feature pitches from the ventures participating in the VilCap Hardware: Africa 2015-16 program and will include an audience of investors, mentors, potential customers, and members of the greater startup and manufacturing/hardware community. 

The forum will be followed by a reception that includes appetizers, drinks and live music for all attendees!! You can’t miss it!

If you have any questions, please contact Mike Kamande at michael.kamande@vilcap.com
