The initiative, combined with the StartUp Day, promoted in partnership with the Alma Mater Foundation and IBM, provides support services for the development and consolidation of students’ business projects, cash benefits offered by sponsors and access to the network of relations with African universities and services for business start-ups based in Africa.
