Women in Africa Club is a global network of leaders, women and men, working together for a new governance on the African continent. We lay the groundwork for new business models by helping African and international companies identify influential African women of today and tomorrow, and by supporting African entrepreneurship for women.

We need your support to identify great African women entrepreneurs to invite them to our first annual meeting at the Beldi Country Club in Marrakesh from September 25 to 27, 2017. With more than 300 leaders – women and men – discussing the theme «Investing for better governance with African women», this will be a unique opportunity for them to get high-level visibility and networking to accelerate their business / initiative!

 Our international jury of prestigious members(*) will select the most innovative and high-growth/impact potential companies or initiatives with already proven traction:
