After the training, participants compete in local finals, then winners from each country get qualified to the regional finals to compete for the African title.
The challenge is co-organized by several national and international partners like the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) with its dedicated society for Technology and Engineering Management (IEEE TEMS), and different universities, corporates and governmental entities in Africa.
