Africa Startup Ecosystem Builders Summit and Awards(ASEB)

The Africa Startup Ecosystem Builders Summit and Awards (ASEB) stands as a beacon event, dedicated to both recognizing the unsung champions of the African startup realm and promoting ecosystem building as a pivotal tool for economic development.

The ASEB Summit and Goals are focused on fostering the emergence of the entrepreneurship ecosystem as a whole on a national and global scale. However, there is a synergy between the local and national work on these goals. Many of the initiatives proposed at the ASEB Summit will also have an impact at the local level. By implementing these initiatives in their own communities, individuals can improve the ecosystem in their area while moving the ASEB Goals forward on a broader scale. As each element becomes stronger locally, the broader field becomes more robust as well.

Embodying the tagline “Celebrating the Hidden Builders of Africa’s Startup Ecosystem. The Unsung Heroes“, ASEB is resolute in its mission to spotlight the individuals and teams whose tireless work powers the vibrant, burgeoning entrepreneurial scene in Africa, yet often remains unseen.

Scheduled from December 6-8, 2023, in the bustling heart of Nairobi, Kenya, this three-day summit offers a comprehensive exploration of innovative strategies, best practices, and collaborative efforts in ecosystem building. A series of panel discussions, keynote speeches, and networking sessions are tailored to drive this purpose, offering attendees unparalleled insights and tools to harness the potential of ecosystem building.

Central to the summit is the ASEB Awards – the very heart of our gathering. This illustrious ceremony recognizes and lauds the tireless contributors who operate behind the scenes, laying down the foundational bricks for Africa’s dynamic startup environment. As we convene in the radiant backdrop of East Africa, our objective remains clear: to champion hidden talents, foster collaborations, and set the stage for a prosperous entrepreneurial future for Africa.
