The Africa Women Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum (AWIEF) has announced the winners of the 2023 AWIEF Awards. 

Tailored for women entrepreneurs, the AWIEF Awards recognises, honors, and celebrates outstanding innovators and business owners in Africa and across industry sectors, for their economic performance and contribution to Africa’s growth and social development.

Held at Kigali, Rwanda, the winners include inspirational and outstanding African women entrepreneurs who excelled this year in creating opportunities and positively impacting lives and communities, driving growth for Africa.

Out of the 24 innovative women founders and entrepreneurs selected in September as top finalists by an international and independent panel of judges, 8 winners emerged.

This year’s event unveiled the inaugural AWIEF Lifetime Leadership Award which was bestowed on Fatma Samoura, FIFA Secretary General, in recognition of her outstanding leadership and contributions to the world of sports. It was also a tribute to her inspiring impact and accomplishments on a global scale, as the first non-European, the first African and first-ever female to lead FIFA as Secretary General in its 116-year history.

Fatma Samoura has shown exceptional leadership in such a male-dominated sector as sports, and in particular, football. She has played a key role in increasing the prize money for the Women’s World Cup and promoting gender equality in football. She is an inspirational role model for other women, and we are truly excited about honoring and celebrating her tonight.
