Events

Our events are the heartbeat of the Business Week Africa ecosystem. We curate high-impact business events across Africa that provide entrepreneurs with practical learning, meaningful connections, collaboration opportunities, and access to markets. Our events are designed to be interactive and growth-focused—bringing entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, policymakers, and partners into one space to learn, build relationships, showcase what they are building, and do business with one another.

Through our events, participants are able to:

Network with like-minded entrepreneurs and industry players
Form collaborations and strategic partnerships
Showcase their businesses, products, and innovations
Learn practical, applicable business skills
Buy, sell, and access new markets

Monthly Business Meetups

We host monthly Business Week Africa meetups in different cities across Africa. Each meetup is a full-day experience running from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., intentionally designed to combine learning, application, accountability, and market access.

Each monthly meetup includes

A masterclass-style training session focused on a specific business theme

A physical, hands-on activity session to help entrepreneurs personalize and apply what they learn

Small accountability groups of 3–4 entrepreneurs for follow-up and implementation

This integrated model ensures that learning is not theoretical, but practical, contextual, and tied to real business outcomes.

Annual Business Week Africa Summit

Our flagship annual summit is always held in Nairobi every October. It brings together 2,000+ entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and industry leaders from across the continent to connect, collaborate, and scale their businesses. The summit is designed to equip entrepreneurs with the resources, networks, and insights needed to thrive in Africa’s evolving business landscape, while leveraging Nairobi’s position as a regional business hub to spark high-impact partnerships.
