THREE DAYS TO GO: GEC+AFRICA 2026 CONNECTS AFRICA IN CAPE TOWN

With just three days to go, the Global Entrepreneurship Congress Africa (GEC+Africa), under the theme Connecting Africa, is bringing entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers and ecosystem enablers together in Cape Town for two days of conversations, connections and opportunities focused on advancing entrepreneurship, innovation and economic growth across Africa.

As we build towards the congress, we are encouraged by the support received from our African ecosystem partners, who have hosted Regional Bootcamps and Pitch Competitions across Botswana, Uganda, Namibia, Algeria, Ghana, Nigeria, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa. The Top 15 finalists from across the continent will now take to the stage at GEC+Africa 2026 to pitch their businesses on the global stage.

With approximately 2,000 delegates expected, GEC+Africa will bring together entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, corporates and ecosystem leaders for a programme featuring keynotes, critical discussions, masterclasses, investor engagements, showcases and opportunities to connect and build new partnerships.

We look forward to welcoming Africa and the world as we come together under one theme: Connecting Africa.

GEC+Africa is committed to Connecting Africa and building the future of entrepreneurship together.
