Become a member in a new community dedicated to entrepreneurship in Africa.
Entrepreneurship is emerging as a driving force for economic growth and social change across Africa. The Africa Entrepreneurship Community will be a place to discuss and accelerate dynamic entrepreneurial innovation taking place across the continent.
Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur or an established professional we invite you to join us to connect with entrepreneurial leaders of all kinds who are addressing complex challenges, creating new solutions, and shaping the future of the continent through entrepreneurship.
The Community experience will be mostly virtual with some in-person events, networking opportunities and educational opportunities designed for members. The community will utilize an online platform designed to enable members to connect with each other to share ideas and resources, learn and engage with relevant content, increase their understanding of entrepreneurial leadership in Africa, and build their network.
The Entrepreneurship in Africa Community is an evolving, open, inclusive community of practice. We welcome your questions, feedback and ideas. Please email us at askELV@babson.edu.
Final design of the Entrepreneurship in Africa Community will take place during the summer of 2023. In addition to identifying Community leaders who will help curate conversations and relevant issues and areas for exploration, we will also be developing an event calendar, and begin outreach to attract additional members in preparation for an official launch in Fall 2023. If you would like to be considered for a community leader, or have content or programming you would like to share, please email us at askELV@babson.edu.
Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), now a global consortium of over 500 researchers, is the largest and most developed research program on entrepreneurship in the world, providing globally-comparable data from 120+ economies.
