Our Investment Fund
Through panel discussions, keynote speeches, and interactive sessions, our annual summit fosters the exchange of ideas, solutions, and collaborations, driving innovation and shaping a brighter future for the continent.

The DEI Recruiting Fair connects students from diverse backgrounds with top companies. Featuring personalized booths and direct engagement, the fair fosters meaningful connections between underrepresented talent and recruiters, promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the professional world.
Our Investment Fund is an initiative that highlights the economic potential of African markets by analyzing key industries and companies. It offers students hands-on experience in financial analysis and strategy. Together, we strive to inspire fresh perspectives and a deeper understanding of the continent’s dynamic economic landscape.
This consulting project connects African and Swiss solar energy markets. Targeting small- to medium-sized enterprises, it fosters knowledge exchange, business growth, and partnerships. Participants gain practical insights and strategies to drive innovation and tackle regional challenges in the renewable energy sector.
