African Businesses Get a Helping Hand From the Microsoft 4Afrika Initiative

Nationwide (BlackNews.com) — Software giant Microsoft is a huge supporter of improving the economic development of Africa. In 2013, the company initiated a new grant program called Microsoft 4Afrika Initiative which awards grants to small- and medium-size businesses (SMEs) in Africa who develop innovative technology solutions to real problems. The program awarded grants again this year.

The grants are part of a large initiative by Microsoft to help one million African small- and medium-size businesses. By supporting SMEs who develop technology solutions for Africa, the program will not only help build Africa’s economy but also make Africa more competitive in a global market.
