About the Event
Startups alone can’t scale Africa’s future — and traditional investors are falling short. It’s time for big business to step in — and step up.
In this live conversation with Vuyo Mpako, Managing Director of NEXT176 (Old Mutual’s venture arm), we’ll unpack how Africa’s legacy institutions can become launchpads for bold ideas — and why backing entrepreneurs isn’t just an opportunity, it’s a necessity.
👉 RSVP now to join the conversation and help shape the future of African innovation.
