The Afropreneurs Summit Australia (ASA) is a powerful and influential event dedicated to empowering current and future African-Australian entrepreneurs. It is also a platform that aims to provide ongoing opportunities to Afro-Australians to focus on building wealth and creating social impact through entrepreneurial innovation in Australia and in the AFrican continent.
Building on the resounding success of ASA's inaugural edition in December 2022, the organisers are committed to hosting summits in major capital cities across Australia, as a means to deepen both the impact and the reach of the organisation's mission within the broader Afro-Australian community.
Bridging the realms of business and social entrepreneurship, these annual events bring together entrepreneurial minds, ambitious professionals and emerging talents in an environment that fosters learning, collaboration, networking, innovation, and tangible growth.
Past achievements underscore the conference's efficacy in nurturing start-ups and driving business development, enhancing the platform’s reputation as a catalyst for growth.In 2023, ASA hosted two summits in Melbourne and Sydney, respectively. The former at the prestigious Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre and the latter at Sydney University, Parramatta Campus. In 2024, up to six summits are being planned and scheduled to take place in Adelaide (South Australia), Brisbane (Queensland), Hobart (Tasmania), Melbourne (Victoria) and Sydney (New South Wales), Perth (Western Australia). More information about the dates and venues for these events will be published in early 2024, if not earlier.
Drawing a diverse demographic, including seasoned entrepreneurs and emerging talents across various fields, these events offer sponsors and contributors the opportunity to get direct engagement and unparalleled brand exposure within the growing Afro-Australian community in Australia.
ASA welcomes contributions from anyone (African or not) who resonates with the vision of fostering a more prosperous African-Australian community. We also encourage the African diaspora to contribute to the economic development of the African continent through entrepreneurial activities.
ASA is dedicated to enabling African Australians to climb the social ladder and to bolster the Australian economy not just as workers, but as vital participants in wealth generation, business ownership, investment, and more.
As you read these lines, we would like to extend our invitation to you to participate in and contribute to the next summit that is being planned in your state or the capital city nearest to your place of residence.
Our platform provides an opportunity for everyone to be an integral part of a movement that drives innovation, shapes success stories, and propels the next generation of business and social leaders within this burgeoning cohort of the Australian population. The African-Australian community is not only growing in number, but also in its determination to contribute to the socio-economic development of Australia, while enriching the cultural tapestry of this great multicultural nation.
