African Drone Business Challenge
Imagine an African with low mobility costs and just-in-time delivery or with massive amounts of new imagery available for mapping and monitoring_what new business opportunities could exist in e-commerce and data services?
The African Drone Forum (ADF) asks African entrepreneurs to envision new commercial use cases that may emerge resulting from this new wave of technologies such as drone delivery services, digital fabrication, and artificial intelligence for navigation and image analysis.

[vc_text_separator title=”  More Details   ” title_align=”separator_align_left” color=”green” border_width=”2″]

Ready to launch a new idea?

The ADF’s Business Challenge is the first Pan-African business plan competition designed exclusively for African entrepreneurs that have identified new and innovative business models enabled through drone technology and data.

The commercial use cases for drone applications can impact a broad array of sectors. At present, there are emerging applications in Africa related to healthcare delivery, land digitization, agriculture or livestock monitoring, disease surveillance, urbanization tracking, and flood impact assessment.

The objective is to promote drones as a catalyze for new business ventures and ultimately new frontier markets. As such, this Challenge does not focus on the development of new technologies, but rather on exploring sustainable and scalable solutions to important problems around mobility and data landscape.

Opportunity Focus Areas:

  • Innovation and Technology
  • Business and management
  • E-commerce
