Hosted by: MIT Sloan Africa Business Club

The annual MIT Africa Innovate Conference is a unique and intimate forum that brings together leading entrepreneurs and change-agents from across the African continent. The conference attracts over 350 business leaders, entrepreneurs, influencers, students, professors, and alumni — all with strong interests in Africa. This year’s conference theme is “Made in Africa.”

Through a series of panels, workshops, and keynote addresses, the conference aims to celebrate endeavors, innovations, and breakthroughs with an impact on the continent and beyond. As one of the largest Africa-centric conferences held outside of Africa, the conversations will focus on unpacking the best practices and strategies needed to accelerate the scaling of impactful enterprises and innovations on the continent across sectors.

Over the last two years, we have welcomed illustrious speakers such as her Excellency President Ameenah Gurib-Fakim of Mauritius; Mostafa Terrab, CEO of OCP; Sara Menker, Founder and CEO of Gro Intelligence; and Ismail Ahmed, Founder and CEO of WorldRemit.

This year, we will have three keynote speakers, six panels, three workshops, and a Solveathon. The conference will also include an Innovation Expo & Networking Reception for attendees to see what’s going on at MIT and to network with our guests.
