Read moreIE Africa Center aims to revolutionize the way in which the next generation of global executives understand African innovation – past and present.
The vision of the Center is to promote an African-centric view of both modernity and the future by partnering with African innovators and their institutions on the continent and across the diaspora, to build academic content and research designed to reshape the world. The IE Africa Center collaborates with knowledge experts and thought leaders to bring the African perspective to global conversations on humanities, education, and social innovation.
“ The IE Africa Center Social Innovators Retreat is one of its kind; it has a fine blend of academic and practical knowledge, in a relaxed but challenging environment. I learnt as much from the inspiring works that my fellow social innovators are doing, as from the faculty. In all, it was very strategic in helping to reconnect to purpose, refine our work and reposition for greater impact. ”

“ The Social Innovators Retreat by IE University’s Africa Centre gave an exposé into the known fact that Africa is the next big thing and how we need to invest in ourselves and amplify solutions that are coming out of Africa for global challenges. ”

“ I was honored to be chosen and invited to attend the Social Innovator’s retreat by IE University in Spain. The company, Ahead of the Curve referred me to the university and they contacted me. This Social Innovators Retreat focusing on Africa was an eye opener to me to the world of social development and how this amazing university believes in Africa and genuinely supports small companies and organizations to increase their social impact. I’m just thrilled to find out that there are people out there that want to support all African countries in such a positive way. Plus my biggest come back is how we can cooperate with countries South of our Egyptian border. There are amazing initiatives that companies can partner with. We just need to reach out. Go Africa! ”
