Building Communities to Support the Very Young Entrepreneur Scenario for Africa

Join us for the Entrepreneurship Education in Africa (EEA) Summit that will explore and celebrate excellence and new approaches in youth entrepreneurship education and support.

Educators, investors, policymakers and entrepreneurs from across Africa will gather in Johannesburg at the African Leadership Academy campus on Wednesday, 6 August, 2025 to delve deeper into entrepreneurship education and see the important work of very young entrepreneurs and the ecosystem that supports their efforts.

JOIN US!

We are not just a prize; we are a movement. And we want you to join the wave. All our activities will be geared towards looking into the future. We want to influence with our knowledge, inspire with our stories and spur action with our vision. How can we support very young people today so they can be successful tomorrow? We have some answers, but we want your insights too. We’ve carved out an experience that we hope will allow you to learn something new, interrogate what you think you know and see entrepreneurship on the continent in a different way.

Gain insights that explore youth entrepreneurship education on the continent.
Network with like-minded people to build a collaborative culture towards achieving a future with very young entrepreneurs at the centre.
Celebrate achievements of the 2023 Anzisha Fellows at the #AnzishaPrize Awards Gala where we will be handing out cash prizes to Africa’s very young and brightest entrepreneurs.

Take inspiration from the future of the continent, hear from leading industry speakers, connect with like-minded people beyond a conference scene, share your stories and passions and hear from very young entrepreneurs whose businesses are re-imagining their communities, and in turn, reinventing the continent.

What does Africa look like if entrepreneurship is seen as a more viable career path? How can transitions to entrepreneurship at an early age be better supported? These are the fundamental questions that drive our work with Anzisha, which aims to significantly increase the number of job-generative entrepreneurs on the continent.

For more than a decade, the Anzisha Prize has found, supported and championed the stories over 150 very young entrepreneurs between the ages of 15 to 22 across 32 African countries. These stories have inspired countless others to follow in their footsteps, supported by a growing movement of parents and teachers who are actively improving the viability of early-age entrepreneurship. We seek to use our various prizes, programs, resources, and the theory of change to catalyze not only the belief in very young entrepreneurs but the creation of an ecosystem (parents, educators, policymakers, and investors) that supports entrepreneurship as a viable career choice.
