Pitch Storm 2019 Finalists

Last year, the world dealt with the Covid-19 pandemic. This saw us suspend all Pitchstorm-related activities for Techpoint Africa's third annual Techpoint Build event, Techpoint Build 2020.

With the flagship event here again in 2021, we are happy to announce applications for Pitchstorm, with entries from all African countries. 

Techpoint Africa Pitchstorm is a pan-African startup competition focused on amplifying the work of startups pushing the envelope with world-class solutions. But things are somewhat different this year.

What to expect at this edition of Pitchstorm

Alignment with Techpoint Build 2021 theme

Following the theme of Techpoint Build 2021, The next frontier, Pitchstorm 3.0 will aim to identify one startup that best "illustrates" and "executes" on futuristic goals of its industry.

It will look at how organisations can be redesigned to survive and thrive in tomorrow's hyper-competitive global environment and take a glimpse at the future of industries — such as health, payment, education, etc. — driven by new demographics, new global markets, and new technology.

Participating industries 

Pitchstorm 3.0 will be specific along the following industries:

  • Health and Wellbeing
  • Media and Entertainment
  • Financial Inclusion
  • Food Security
  • Education

If you have solutions rethinking business and innovation practices in these industries, you are exactly what we are looking for at Pitchstorm 3.0.
