This is Africa's first summit, which will bring together entrepreneurs, investors, and world leaders to discuss innovation and sustainable development.
On February 27-28, 2025, more than 1,500 global thought leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs will gather in Nairobi for the 12th Sankalp Africa Summit, Africa's biggest Impact Investment and Entrepreneurship Summit. With a focus on investment, innovation, and sustainability, this historic event will highlight Africa's vibrant startup scene and aim to unleash millions of dollars in finance for African businesses.
More than 400 companies will be represented at the summit, providing them with priceless chances for international recognition, funding, and mentoring. In order to help African businesses take the world by storm, key sessions will feature investor matching, pitching competitions, and live deal rooms.
The 2025 Sankalp Africa Awards, which will honor success in fields including fintech, healthcare, agriculture, and climate resilience and highlight the continent's emerging entrepreneurial spirit, will be a feature of the conference.
Having drawn $1.2 billion in venture funding in 2023 alone, Kenya continues to lead Africa's investment scene. By 2025, Africa's digital economy is predicted to rise to $180 billion. To boost economic growth, the summit will examine ways to open up markets, influence policy, and unlock money.
In order to support a more inclusive and sustainable African economy, the summit will also emphasize gender equity, youth entrepreneurship, and climate-smart corporate solutions.
