About this event

GEC+Africa 2026 is a Pan-African entrepreneurship congress built around the theme Connecting Africa. It brings startups, investors, corporates, policymakers, and other entrepreneurship-support organisations into the same conversation about business growth and cross-border collaboration. The congress is a useful opportunity for founders to meet potential partners, learn from the wider entrepreneurship ecosystem, understand policy and market perspectives, and identify routes into new African markets. With its focus on connection, the event is especially relevant to entrepreneurs building regional networks, investors looking for promising ventures, corporates seeking innovation partnerships, and policymakers working to strengthen entrepreneurship across the continent.
