Pan Africa Conference 2025
Join us in Senegal for the ANDE Pan Africa Conference 2025, where visionaries and change-makers in the African entrepreneurship ecosystem will gather under the theme “Catalyzing the Future of Inclusive Entrepreneurship in Africa.” The conference will inspire action toward building a more inclusive and dynamic entrepreneurial landscape by focusing on empowering youth, harnessing digital innovation, promoting diversity, and elevating cultural enterprises.
This event will amplify the voices of the Global South, strengthen South-South collaboration, and engage African governments, private sector leaders, and investors in transformative conversations about the future of inclusive entrepreneurship across Africa. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of this vital movement!
Conference Agenda
The 2025 Pan Africa Conference theme is “Catalyzing the Future of Inclusive Entrepreneurship in Africa,” and we need your help to create an impactful agenda! We invite ANDE members to submit session ideas that inspire action and drive change. Here’s a quick look at session formats:
- Workshop: A 90-minute interactive session to equip participants with practical skills for advancing the small and growing business (SGB) ecosystem.
- Breakout: A 75-minute roundtable discussion, ideal for deep dives or small group conversations unpacking complex topics.
- Spark-Talk: A dynamic 5-7 minute TED Talk-style presentation showcasing an innovation or surprising insight.
- Roundtable: A 60-minute small and informal member-led discussion to explore key sector issues.
The submission deadline is Friday, November 29, 2024. Each member is limited to two submissions, so please coordinate internally. Due to limited space, not all submissions will be included, and some sessions may be combined.
We will also host a Made in Africa Exhibition—an exclusive showcase of investor-ready SGB pipelines, presented by ANDE members! Discover opportunities, connect with visionary entrepreneurs, and engage with Africa’s next wave of investment-ready ventures.
You must be an active ANDE member to present at the conference. Not yet a member? Contact the ANDE Membership Team to learn how to join!
