WomEng and the Royal Academy of Engineering’s Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation has partnered to power the African Innovation Fellowship for competition for women. The competition invites female entrepreneurs for a nine-month leadership and business development opportunity. It aims at developing the talent pipeline for the Africa Prize in early stage startups. Fellowship candidates who apply and are subsequently short-listed for the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation will additionally receive individual coaching and mentoring to support to get them pitch-ready

 

Co-founded by Naadiya Moosajee and Hema Vallabh, WomEng is an authentic value-driven organization meant for women in engineering. The initiative is predominantly driven by women engineers who have developed a program to address the issues facing women in the engineering sector from school all the way through to industry..

The Royal Academy of Engineering was founded in June 1976 as the Fellowship of Engineering with support from Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who became the first Senior Fellow and, as of 2018, remains so. The Fellowship was incorporated and granted a Royal Charter on 17 May 1983 and became the Royal Academy of Engineering on 16 March 1992. The Fellowship focuses on championing excellence in all fields of engineering.
