The VC of the year award honours the Venture Capital Fund, which has created impressive financial results while bravely investing in innovative companies that positively impact the economy and the continent, while supporting them with resources other than purely financial.

We look forward to many more impactful years as entrepreneurial efforts, supported by funders such as VC’s are recognised for their key role in driving innovation and growth in an economy.
