In April 2022, Forbes held its first-ever Under 30 Summit Africa, which convened the world’s most elite young entrepreneurs and game-changers. The Forbes Under 30 Summit Africa will return to Botswana once again from April 23-26, 2023, to harness the power of entrepreneurial capitalism amid a country whose growth is ripe with opportunities for young entrepreneurs and rapidly becoming a hie of business and technological innovation – not to mention a nation that ranks highest for the most women business owners than any other in Africa, continues to help define the 21st century.
Internationally recognized today as one of the best destinations for doing business in Africa, Botswana boasts a wealth of resources to entrepreneurs alike – making it an ideal location to assemble the best and brightest young business leaders to connect, learn, teach, build, and network.
Over the course of three days in Botswana’s capital, Gaborone, participants from the Under 30 Africa community, the local Botswana community and the global Under 30 network, will gather to share a platform for networking and crucial conversations rooted in sustainability, innovation and entrepreneurship.
