Seedstars Apéro - Inclusive Innovation Connect - Cape Town Edition
🌍 Welcome to Seedstars Apéro: Inclusive Impact Connect in Africa
Join Seedstars as we bring together entrepreneurs, investors, and changemakers to build inclusive ecosystems for people with disabilities (PWD) across Africa.
Why Africa? Why South Africa?
With over 60 million PWD across Africa (World Bank, 2022), the demand for accessible, inclusive solutions has never been greater 🌱
South Africa is leading the charge with forward-thinking policies like the White Paper on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, fostering a supportive environment for PWD-focused ventures (Government of South Africa, 2021) 🇿🇦
Africa’s startup ecosystem is rapidly expanding, with $6.5 billion in venture capital investments in 2022, offering immense opportunities for impact-driven ventures focused on inclusion (Africa: The Big Deal, 2022) 📈
Join us for an afternoon with inspiring changemakers, including entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, and more key actors of the ecosystem.
