OVERALL THEME/BACKGROUND

The "Social & Inclusive Business Camp" hybrid program, now implemented by a consortium led by Investisseurs & Partenaires in close collaboration with the AFD Campus, aims to support "impact" entrepreneurs in Africa in their growth and fundraising, and to offer them international visibility by creating "model" roles in inclusive and agile entrepreneurship. For four months, entrepreneurs will accelerate their learning curve alongside mentors and share their experiences and expertise with their peers. At the end of the in-person bootcamp, developed in collaboration with Emerging Valley, entrepreneurs are invited to meet with investors and business partners who can help them grow.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Mastering the key stages of scaling up and acquiring the necessary skills. Learning from the experiences of pan-African entrepreneurs. Benefiting from expert mentoring. Meeting with investors related to their industry. Becoming part of a dynamic, supportive, and trusted community of mentors and peers that extends beyond the program.
