The Social & Inclusive Business Camp is an acceleration and capacity building programme. It is dedicated to entrepreneurs with an impact project on the African continent and willing to scale up.

 

It is a hybrid support programme, including:

  • 3 months of remote coaching on a dedicated online platform, alternating interactive virtual classes with international experts and learning resources to consult autonomously.
  • 1 week of intensive Bootcamp in Marseille, France, in partnership with the EMERGING Valley Summit (event dedicated to emerging innovations between Europe and Africa)
  • The possibility for each participant to be followed by a mentor, an experienced alumni of the programme
  • Networking, through integration into an active and ambitious international community of 240 entrepreneurs and networking with investors and financial partners during the Bootcamp.

Since its first edition in 2017, the SIBC has supported 240 entrepreneurs with a strong social impact in Africa in their transition to scale-up, in the measurement of their social performance and in their preparation for fundraising.

 

The programme is organised around 4 key themes

  • Leadership, governance and team: defining better your purpose and mission, structuring your governance, and organizing your teams for successful growth
  • Scale up: Adapting your business model and building your scale-up strategy to multiply your impact (with a specific focus on female leadership)
  • ESG & Impact: defining your ESG & Impact policy and measuring your social performance
  • Investment Readiness: identifying your financing needs, understanding investor expectations, and preparing to raise funds
