The 2024 African German Young Leaders in Business (AGYLE) Programme is now accepting applications.

Young leaders from Germany and Africa are brought together by the African German Young Leaders in Business (AGYLE) for long-term business networking. The establishment of creative ideas and projects is encouraged via direct encounters and partnership-based exchanges between Germany and a few selected African nations. This paves the way for long-term economic collaboration.

The Agency for Business & Economic Development (AWE) and Germany – Land of Ideas are partners in the AGYLE programme. GIZ and DEG Impulse provide support to AWE, which is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
