Africa Impact Summit 2024

‘The Africa Impact Summit is the leading forum that is driving networking, deal making and impact investing thought leadership in Africa.

The summit will provide a platform to make connections, discover opportunities and share insights to drive a new form of responsible investment principle that works for Africa. Through 40+ speakers, participants will learn about the key sectors that are driving development and impact in Africa, including agriculture, climate action, education, energy, financial services, healthcare, infrastructure, technology, and water.

Discussions and dialogue at this year’s summit will bring special focus to the continent’s strategic development framework, Agenda 2063 – calling for urgent action and greater commitment by all actors to deliver on its promise for inclusive and sustainable development by the year 2063 and beyond.’ (1)

Social Innovation Academy is the first fully online management training programme focusing exclusively on social innovation.

Why Social Innovation Academy? Social innovation has increasingly come to be perceived as the answer to the rising number of European societal challenges. While the European authorities, leading academics, policy experts, business people and activists agree that social innovation is the key to a better future for Europe and the world, it is extremely difficult for professionals to obtain high-quality training on what social innovation actually offers and, more importantly, how it can be done in practice.

The Social Innovation Academy is aiming to change this situation in Europe and beyond. If you are interested in keeping up with this project, you can subscribe to our newsletter, become one of our friends or follow us on social media (LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook). We welcome all requests for collaboration here.
