Forbes today announced its first-ever Under 30 Summit Africa to
be held in Botswana April 24th-29th 2022 – bringing together 600
participants, – one-third from the Under 30 Africa community,
one-third from our host (Botswana), and one-third from the Under 30
community worldwide – for mentorship, networking and important
conversations centered around sustainability, innovations and
entrepreneurship.
Hosted in partnership with the Botswana President’s Initiative,
the six-day event will convene Botswana business leaders,
government officials, venture capital and business role models,
alongside the world’s most influential young entrepreneurs and
innovators, to foster entrepreneurship locally and network with
likeminded innovators who are changing business around the world.
It presents an unrivalled opportunity for cultural immersion,
inspiration and networking on an international scale.
Beginning in Botswana’s capital city, Gaborone, attendees will
have the chance to immerse themselves into Botswana’s culture and
experience the sounds and cuisine of local performers and chefs.
Halfway through the event, attendees will travel to Chobe National
Park, the world’s largest elephant sanctuary, for a fully
programmed agenda focused on sustainability, a sunset river cruise
among hippos and crocodiles, and a one-day safari that ranks among
the best in the world. Across four days, guests will explore the
best of Africa and harness the power of entrepreneurial capitalism
on the continent whose growth will help define the 21st
century.
“We’re excited to bring the Under 30 Summit to Africa for the
first time, with the continent’s growth set to play a driving role
in the global economy over the course of the 21st century,” said
Randall Lane, Chief Content Officer, Forbes. “We are especially
excited to bring together the world’s top young entrepreneurs in
Botswana, not only one of the world’s most beautiful countries, but
one which is poised to become a global hub for innovation and
start-up acceleration.”
“The Forbes Under 30 summit highlights Botswana’s commitment to
open its doors for business,” says His Excellency Dr Mokgweetsi
Masisi, President of the Republic of Botswana. “It is an
opportunity for our young entrepreneurs to showcase their
businesses and will also play a key role in unearthing ideas from
our young people that will put Botswana at the centre of
entrepreneurship in the regional and global business
landscape.”
The summit will focus on the theme of The African Century:
Inspiration, Innovation, Exploration, exploring how the world can
invest in and engage with the growing potential of entrepreneurism
across the region. Attendees will see first-hand how Botswana
