On January 31, 2023, Data-Lead Africa was named one of the winners of the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship’s Uplink Corporate Changemakers Challenge. The goal of this challenge is to recognize innovative solutions from corporate intrapreneurs who demonstrate how companies can advance social and environmental equity while increasing their value. Employees taking entrepreneurial actions within an organization to drive change and growth is known as intrapreneurship. The Schwab Foundation, along with Salesforce and other partners, recognizes the importance of cultivating an intrapreneurship culture and encourages employees to think outside the box in order to come up with new and innovative ideas that have a global impact.

We are thrilled to share this news!  We are excited to work with the other winners, join a brilliant intrapreneur network, and broaden the effect of our work. Over 100 submissions were received for the Corporate Changemakers Challenge, ranging from new products and services to process improvements and sustainability initiatives.
