His Excellency President C Ramaphosa of South Africa, Pauline Christian former Black Business Council President and currently the CEO/President Best Lifestyle Residents INC, Canada, are among some of the thought leaders who will grace this conference.
A virtual incubation support system to the budding entrepreneurs of Africa will be provided after the Conference as a sustainability approach.
As per multiple studies, 80% startups fail within 18 months at global level, due to lack of mentoring support, lack of readiness of startups for investment, lack of access to investors and other key stakeholders of the startup ecosystem. AIEC has a vision to create world-changing startups like Uber, Airbnb, Amazon in Africa through the virtual incubation support system. The incubation support will have 3 phases. During the first stage, the startups will enter a mentoring programme on idea generation and validation. This stage follows a period on MVP & Product Development andIPR Support The third phase support boot camp training and pitch deck formulation.

Market Linkage support:
AIEC provides branding and marketing support to the local entrepreneurs of Africa. We provide mentoring support to local entrepreneurs, how to do minimal value addition to a commodity, build and develop their brand, guide them on which market segment to focus on and how to design the advertising and promotional strategy for their business units.
We aim to promote locally manufactured commodities from Africa such as; Coffee, Cocoa, Wine, etc. by creating a portal, where the products of different entrepreneurs will be uploaded on this portal and will be promoted on the African market as well as in global markets. Selected entrepreneurs in these value chains will be trained on technical as well as business aspects and will be provided marketing support.
