Entries are open for engineers from South Africa and other sub-Saharan African countries to participate in the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation.

The deadline for entries is July 23.

The Africa Prize, founded by the UK’s Royal Academy of Engineering, is a six-month training programme which helps engineers become entrepreneurs through funding, bespoke mentoring and comprehensive business training.

The shortlist phase recognizes 16 of the most talented engineers from across sub-Saharan Africa from a pool of entries.

Candidates are selected and after six months of training, four finalists get to present their innovation to judges and a live audience, before a winner is chosen.

In 2017, South African chemical engineer Collins Saguru was announced a runner-up winner at the prestigious awards for his metal reuse innovation, AltMet.
