Opportunity Desk

About this platform

One of the highest-volume opportunity feeds serving African audiences, posting several items a day across grants, fellowships, scholarships, internships, training and competitions. Listings are organised by region and by opportunity type, and each post carries the value and deadline in the headline. The editorial net is wide, so it catches youth and civil-society opportunities alongside academic ones — useful breadth, but staff should expect to filter.

Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation 2027

Royal Academy of Engineering · UK

The Africa Prize backs sub-Saharan African engineers commercialising an engineering innovation, combining cash prizes with eight months of structured business support. It is judged in two stages: a Stage 1 submission on the applicant and the technology, assessed by two technical experts for viability, and a Stage 2 longlist round requiring a business plan, market analysis, financial projections and a commercialisation strategy. It rewards a working innovation with a route to market, not a research proposal.

Deadline: 8 September 2026, 16:00 UTC+1 (Stage 1)11 days left
