On 3 June this year, in anticipation of the World Economic Forum on Africa (4-6 June), the Schwab Foundation will be hosting a full interactive day meeting, styled on its successful Global Social Entrepreneurs Summit in Zurich.

This year’s meeting will mark the first gathering of social entrepreneurs with resource providers in Africa. providing a unique platform for social entrepreneurs and senior people of foundations, investment banks, private equity firms, corporations, media companies and academic institutions engaged in Africa to interact.

The theme of the Summit, Matching Resources With Sustainable Solutions In Africa, will review the ways “resource providers” engage and learn from the models and approaches of social entrepreneurs, and how social entrepreneurs make the most of the opportunity to advance their respective missions and models.
