Break boundaries.
Unleash your potential.
More than a forum — a transformative catalyst. SIFA2027 brings entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and academics together across agriculture, health, fintech, renewable energy, IT, and tourism to build Africa's next generation of social enterprise.
One forum, multiple sectors, one continent's worth of momentum.
SIFA convenes the people who fund, build, and govern social innovation — so ideas leave the room with capital and allies attached, not just applause.
SIFA2027 integrates cross-sector collaboration between private enterprise, government, and academic institutions — closing the gap between bold ideas and the resources needed to scale them.
Multiple sectors, one stage
Agriculture, health, fintech, renewable energy, IT, and tourism share a single program instead of running as separate, disconnected conferences.
Youth leadership, front and center
Programming is built to put emerging leaders in direct conversation with the capital and policy that shape their sectors.
Innovation meets opportunity
Structured matchmaking connects founders directly with investors, mentors, and media — not just a booth and a business card.
Three tracks, one day.
Program structure carries over from SIFA2026; formats and speakers for 2027 are being finalized.
Competition
Malawi Future Entrepreneur Challenge
A live pitch competition where founders present solutions to a panel of investors, walking away with direct feedback — and, for finalists, mentorship and media exposure.
Dialogue

Working conversations with policymakers, investors, and academics on what it actually takes to move social innovation from pilot to policy.
