Entrepreneurship is a cornerstone of the Circular Economy story in Africa. A broadly accepted view globally is that Circular Economy business models are disruptive, so it is more likely for newcomers than industry incumbents to stimulate this disruption. In the African context however, entrepreneurial programming is also driven by concerns about youth skills development and employment: of 18 countries in the world with official unemployment rates above 20%, 13 are in Africa.

Faith in new ideas and a sense of urgency to change the status quo has in short facilitated the development of a range of Circular Economy-oriented entrepreneurship programmes at universities and incubators across Africa.  The purpose of this workshop series is to explore what we have learned from the nascent CE entrepreneurship research and educational programming in Africa and to consolidate this learning to collectively improve access to resources, funding and advocacy for Circular Economy entrepreneurs working in Africa.
