AFRICA’S LARGEST SHOWCASE OF ENTREPRENEURS AND IMPACT INVESTORS
Over the past decade, the Sankalp Africa Summit has emerged as a pivotal event in impact investing and social entrepreneurship across Africa. Originating from the Sankalp initiative founded by Intellecap in India in 2009, the summit was extended to Africa in 2014, recognizing the unique opportunities and challenges on the continent. Annually, it gathers hundreds of entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders from over 65 countries, facilitating critical partnerships and discussions that drive regional and global sustainable development. The convening not only underscores the importance of innovative solutions in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals but also highlights the transformative power of collaboration within the African ecosystem.
