Li said that entrepreneurship is the future of Africa, which should be supported in different aspects.

Reiterating that African entrepreneurs should be provided with such platforms to grow, Li said he would help enhance the ongoing entrepreneurial initiatives on the continent.

"My first visit to Africa was in 1977. The second time I went there was last year for the first final competition of the Africa Netpreneur Prize Initiative...entrepreneurship is the future of Africa's young people. African entrepreneurs should become the heroes who create jobs," said Li during the interview.

"I should do something for Africa...I will go to Africa again, and want to see African entrepreneurs get not only the financial award, but also advice from successful predecessors. That can be even more valuable," he said.

According to the ANPI, application for the 2020 competition is going on with already 15,000 applicants. Ten finalists will be selected from among those who complete the application process, and share an enlarged prize pool of 1.5 million U.S. dollars this year.
