Hosted by Impact for Breakfast and Enabling Qapital in collaboration with Be That Girl Foundation, Brands on a Mission, and ShEquity, this roundtable brings together investors, philanthropists, and business leaders to explore a powerful and often overlooked growth strategy: investing in African girls and women.
Africa is home to the world’s youngest, fastest-growing population—and to the highest number of female entrepreneurs. With 145 million adolescent girls soon to become workers, creators, and consumers, the opportunity is clear: investing in women and girls is not just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing.
Join a dynamic, action-focused conversation about how gender-lens investing and philanthropy are already delivering outsized social and financial returns. Learn from leaders who are helping women reach their full potential and uplift their communities by building high-impact, climate-conscious ventures and innovative business ecosystems. You’ll hear insights from those at the forefront of change—from catalytic capital models to transformative partnerships—and leave with concrete ideas for collaboration and impact.
