Addressing Africa's Public Sector Challenges through Innovative Solutions Developed by Our Youth
Addressing Africa's Public Sector Challenges through Innovative Solutions Developed by Our Youth
At the Empire Partner Foundation (EPF), we're not just imagining a better Africa — we're building it. EPF exists to develop practical, real technology, invest in high-potential talent, and drive innovation that tackles urgent societal challenges.
As Africa's most practical and impact-driven innovation ecosystem, EPF serves as a launchpad for youth-led ventures, a developer of engineering and AI talent, and a connector across the entire innovation pipeline — from idea development to scalable ventures.
Through our comprehensive programs — which span hackathons, bootcamps, incubation and investment, mentorship circles, and field programs, strategic partnerships, and on-the-ground implementation, by equipping young African innovators with the tools, funding, and networks they need, EPF is accelerating inclusive growth and engineering systems that deliver measurable, long-term impact.
