The East Africa Social Business Forum on Youth Entrepreneurship is a day-long event that will bring together a flourishing community of individuals who share a common goal of developing sustainable business solutions to tackle the East African region's urgent social and environmental challenges. The forum aims to provide attendees with a platform for knowledge-sharing and networking opportunities and encourage social business creation in the region.

The East Africa Social Business Forum on Youth Entrepreneurship’s primary goal is to support and inspire the East African youth to bring together the social business ecosystem builders, government, NGOs and private sector to increase awareness and understanding of the concept of social business and its impact on society; create opportunities for the participants to network and connect with other stakeholders who are active in the region; and facilitate new partnerships and funding opportunities. 

The forum promises to be a highly engaging and immersive learning experience that will bring together 250+ attendees, including a diverse group of entrepreneurs and global speakers, to share their experiences and insights on social business and create an innovative discourse for the audience. In addition, the gathering will facilitate collaboration and resource-sharing among local social businesses, including keynote speeches, panel discussions, and workshops.
