Details
Across three days in the country’s capital, Gaborone, we’ll harness the power of entrepreneurial capitalism amid the continent whose growth will help define the 21st century. As with every Under 30 Summit, the social and cultural opportunities will be world-class. You’ll hear from government, venture capital and business role models, providing inspiration for the newest—and next—generation of leaders. We will welcome local performers, chefs and entrepreneurs, allowing us to experience the sounds, cuisine and staples of local culture while engaging in unbeatable networking and pitching opportunities.
After the activities in Gaborone conclude, we encourage participants to continue their trip with suggested itineraries for safari excursions to see the best of Botswana’s national parks, or journeying to neighboring Zimbabwe to see the natural wonder of Victoria Falls, or to the beautiful and historic coastal city of Cape Town in South Africa.
