Mango Media, publishers of Ghana’s leading business journal, Business World Magazine, has been nominated for the OUTSTANDING GROWING BUSINESS award in the 2014 Africa Awards for Entrepreneurship.
Considered to be the “OSCARS” for African entrepreneurs, the ‘Africa Awards for Entrepreneurship’ has grown to become the most prestigious business and entrepreneurship awards programme in Africa.
The OUTSTANDING GROWING BUSINESS category provides a US$50,000 prize to a young remarkable African business.
The Managing Director of Mango Media, Mr Kofi Mangesi, said: “This nomination speaks volumes of the great strides our company has made over the past few years, in which our uncompromising commitment to delivering quality in the media, research and conferencing sector has seen us emerge tops in everything we do.”
Mango Media’s flagship publication, Business World Magazine, currently in its sixth year, was winner of the country’s most prestigious ‘Business Magazine of the Year’ award in 2012 and 2013.
It has grown to become the leading medium for delivering concise financial and economic information targeted at Ghana’s business community, through its print and online publications.
“We’re looking to emerge on the larger African terrain, delivering the same relevant and quality service experience that has made us a household name in Ghana, and this nomination provides us the perfect platform to register our presence,” Mangesi says of his company’s future plans.
The Africa Awards for Entrepreneurship, in its eighth year since inception, has attracted more than 7,000 applications from African businesses and awarded prizes of over US$1.6 million to 30 leading entrepreneurs.
The Africa Awards for Entrepreneurship gala ceremony is annually hosted by African Leadership Network (ALN), the continent’s community of dynamic and influential new generation leaders.
The 2014 gala will be held in conjunction with the ALN’s fifth annual gathering in Kigali, Rwanda, from November 5 to 8, 2014.
