Students from Manchester Metropolitan will work with students for our partner America University in Cairo in the 6th Africa Business Concept Challenge.

GBSN is pleased to present the 6th annual Africa Business Concept Challenge (ABCC), a virtual business concept competition for African undergraduate and graduate students. The competition challenges student teams to develop a viable business concept that addresses a locally relevant challenge or problem related to Agenda 2063 and inclusive and sustainable development as outlined by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Africa Business Concept Challenge (ABCC) invites African undergraduate and graduate students to turn local problems into powerful business solutions. Working in teams, you’ll identify a real challenge in your community connected to Agenda 2063 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and develop a viable, responsible business concept to address it. This is more than a competition—it’s a chance to create impact, gain hands-on entrepreneurial experience, and be supported by mentors and investor experts along the way.
