💡 YOUR TIME IS NOW

If you’ve already been building, keep sharpening. You’re just starting, start bold. ABC is a launchpad — not just for winners, but for builders who dare. And as we approach the deadline, remember: everyone’s still in the race. So ask the hard questions. Use the community. Challenge your assumptions. And whatever you do, don’t sit this one out.

Let’s make history. Let’s build Africa’s future.
