The Milken-Motsepe Innovation Prize Program is a series of multi-year, multimillion-dollar prize competitions and programs to advance technological solutions that accelerate progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a spotlight on Africa.
The prize program mobilizes significant financial and human capital through its inclusive and integrated approach to access and mobility for innovators and startups.
The inclusive ethos of the prize program provides an equal opportunity for success—irrespective of age, status, education, location, or past achievements.
There will be significant new data captured and ideas generated from the range of innovations and field tests. Prizes are useful tools to accelerate data capture for evidence-based research.
The inaugural Prize challenges innovators from around the world to significantly increase value to small and medium-sized farms in Africa through new technologies and agribusiness innovation.
A collaboration between the Milken Institute and the Motsepe Foundation, the Prize program seeks to accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals. Its potential impact is endless.
