The Annual Africa Conference on Social Entrepreneurship, Championing Social Entrepreneurship in the African Market.
About us
The Annual Africa Conference on Social Entrepreneurship (AACOSE) is an initiative set in place to foster the interaction between the key actors who contribute to creating favourable conditions for the growth of sustainable social enterprises in Africa, including leading social entrepreneurs, academicians, policymakers, international development players, multi-nationals, impact investors and other funders, business executives and other leaders drawn from across Africa and beyond. Through this, AACOSE has managed to catalyse conversations on the need for policy and/or legal frameworks to govern these social enterprises. The conference is organised by Tangaza University College, an academic institution that provides competence base training to Social Entrepreneurs, training them and enabling them to impact and transform the life of people; in collaboration with Ashoka, an organisation which supports Social Entrepreneurs who are change makers globally.

It was an honor to host Danson Gichini of World Economic Forum & Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship at #AACOSE7, who emphasized the growing influence of social enterprises worldwide. According to new data, over 10 million social enterprises are prioritizing purpose over profit, addressing critical issues like climate change and poverty. These enterprises generate $2 trillion in revenue and create 200 million jobs, with half led by women. As Africa embraces the AU's ten-year strategy to strengthen the social and solidarity economy, the continent is on the path to building more inclusive and sustainable economies. Join the movement! 🚀 #SocialEntrepreneurship #ClimateAction #InclusiveEconomy #WomenInLeadership #AfricaForward #AU10YearPlan
