AFRICA’S LARGEST SHOWCASE OF ENTREPRENEURS AND IMPACT INVESTORS
Over the last 10 years, the Africa summit has witnessed thousands of stakeholders, entrepreneurs, investors, entrepreneur support organizations and other sustainable development practitioners from across the ecosystem coming together to rally for the entire region. With participants from over 65+ regional and global countries, the summit plays host to a curated set of outstanding thought leaders from Sub-Saharan Africa, and enables premier networking opportunities for the region
The Sankalp Africa Summit 2024, held on February 28th and 29th, marked a significant event, drawing 1,358 participants from over 50 countries, centered on the theme “Catalyzing Impact: Igniting Africa’s Potential for Just Transition.” This two-day summit encompassed 46 sessions, exploring vital topics such as Agriculture, Gender, Climate & Clean Energy, and Health, among others. Noteworthy were new initiatives like the ASCEND Program, which connected early-stage enterprises with Angel Investors for potential seed funding and strategic advice. Another highlight was the “Trailblazers” segment, showcasing seven entrepreneurs poised for Series B funding, seeking investments exceeding 10 million USD. The summit promoted impactful dialogues and development, positioning Africa innovatively in the global economy. Looking ahead, the new Sankalp Lead, Liz Corbishley, and her team are committed to further enriching this dynamic platform.
