The Business Verge Awards is poised to return for its much-anticipated second edition in the first week of December 2025, aiming to spotlight Africa’s most innovative entrepreneurs, business leaders, and changemakers. Following a successful inaugural event in January 2025, which recognized outstanding figures across diverse sectors, the upcoming awards promise an even more dynamic and inclusive celebration of Africa’s vibrant business landscape.

This year’s edition features ten prestigious categories designed to honor excellence and foster collaboration within the continent’s burgeoning business and tech ecosystems. Categories include African Startup Business of the Year, Enterprise Award, Rising Founder of the Year, Excellence in Fintech, and Female Founder of the Year, alongside awards for Social Impact and Sustainability, Business Leadership, Community Impact, Creative Business, and People’s Choice.

The organizing committee has underscored that beyond acknowledging achievement, the 2025 event will serve as a platform to inspire synergy among pioneers and stakeholders while illuminating emerging opportunities in Africa’s economic and technological sectors. Entrepreneurs, founders, and innovators who have been active for at least a year and maintain a social media presence are encouraged to submit nominations for themselves or others.
