It enables students to see learnings from their program applied in the real world, grow their network and expand their global perspective. This time, South Africa, as the gateway for investment in Sub-Saharan Africa and the continent at large, hosted IE Business School students looking to make a positive impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the week, students met business leaders, policymakers and local IE Alumni, as well as visiting top companies to see how they operate. Students also developed a social impact project for an actual client, leaving their mark on Cape Town. What\u2019s more, students had the opportunity to learn about the African region and what makes it unique, while making a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-social-impact-immersion-week-in-cape-town-was-an-unforgettable-insightful-experience-i-highly-recommend-this-life-changing-opportunity\"><em>The Social Impact Immersion week in Cape Town was an unforgettable, insightful experience.
