Crowdfunding Africa Forum 2016
With the surge in the entrepreneurial activities across Africa and its 6th region, there is a greater need for financing early-stage companies in order to get projects that tackle issues such as access to energy, healthcare, education, housing, technology or agribusiness to scale. The widening gap between early-stage financing and commercial capital means that African entrepreneurs will have to look for alternative source of funding their ideas and innovations.
Following recent reports that the crowdfunding market in Africa is projected to grow exponentially, the Crowdfunding Africa Forum will bring together entrepreneurs, investors, banks, policy-makers, service providers and other key stakeholders to promote crowdfunding as an alternative financing and validation method to the region and its diaspora SMEs and Startups; explore the latest developments, potentials, challenges and connect participants to the market players and new partners.
Key topics include:
- The Challenges and Potentials of Crowdfunding in Africa
- Leveraging Technology in Financing & Scaling African Ideas and Innovations
- Key Strategies to a Successful Crowdfunding Campaign in Africa
- Crowdfunding Renewable Energy & Real Estate Projects – Lessons Learned
- Case-studies of Successful Enterpreneurs and Investors
- New High-Impact Projects and Opportunities.
