introduction
For more than a decade, Sankalp has successfully built regional ecosystems for India, Southeast Asia, and Africa, connecting international players with local organizations and entrepreneurs. We understand the importance of bringing together diverse stakeholders at the intersection of business and development, and the impact this has for early stage businesses to be able to grow.
After successfully catalyzing other regional ecosystems, Sankalp intends to create value for the West African ecosystem by:
Creating a unique entrepreneur-centric platform to drive sustainable development through business in West Africa
Stitching together both anglophone and francophone experiences through exploring common challenges, and unique opportunities across the region
Providing better connections, opportunities for learning, and platforms for exchange across West Africa and the rest of the world
