Join Conecta Africa Summit
Be part of an exclusive gathering of leaders transforming entrepreneurship ecosystems across Africa.
Uniting Africa's top ESOs to shape the future of inclusive entrepreneurship
The Conecta Summit seeks to bring together all key stakeholders—from innovators and investors to entrepreneurs and policymakers—with the goal of fostering collaboration and building a stronger and more sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem in Central America and, now, throughout Latin America.
Each edition of Conecta Summit is a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations, discover common ground, and build partnerships that transform the future of entrepreneurship. In 2025, we are officially launching Conecta Africa, reaffirming Bridge for Billions commitment to innovation, action, and positive impact.
What can you expect from Conecta Africa?
1. Identify structural challenges and opportunities for improvement within the African ecosystem:
To foster an honest and constructive dialogue on the current gaps within the ecosystem (coordination, funding, capabilities, scale and inclusion), and to jointly develop opportunities for improvement that strengthen its effectiveness, collaboration and regional reach.
2. To promote the exchange of practical knowledge among stakeholders in the African ecosystem:
Through collaborative working groups, which enable the identification of common challenges and highlight solutions that are already being implemented, with the aim of inspiring concrete actions that can be replicated in other contexts.
3. Highlighting success stories from the African ecosystem:
A panel featuring leading organisations in the fields of innovation and regional collaboration, positioning Colombia as a key player in strengthening entrepreneurship in Africa.
4. Facilitate strategic connections between key stakeholders:
By providing networking opportunities and round-table discussions, enabling key stakeholders to build relationships that can lead to meaningful partnerships.
About Conecta: A global community of ESOs transforming local ecosystems
Entrepreneurship Support Organizations (ESOs) drive innovation, power local businesses, and fuel social and economic growth. Yet, they face unstable funding, fragmented support, and restrictive policies that limit their impact. Unlocking early-stage entrepreneurship starts with overcoming these barriers.
Conecta is a global community of leaders strengthening local ecosystems of support for early-stage entrepreneurs. Through collaboration, technology, and strategic partnerships, Conecta helps ESOs scale their impact sustainably.
After becoming the most ambitious ecosystem building community in Latin America with 38 ESOs and 1050 entrepreneurs incubated, Conecta is coming to Africa!
