Africa Kidpreneur Summit 2026
What is the Africa Kidpreneur Summit?
The Africa Kidpreneur Summit is the continent’s most exciting annual gathering for young entrepreneurs aged 6 to 18. Organised by Kidspreneurs Uganda and Kidpreneur Africa, the summit brings together hundreds of young innovators, business owners, educators, and mentors from across Africa for three action-packed days of learning, pitching, and celebrating youth enterprise.
The 2026 edition will be hosted at the iconic Hotel Africana in Kampala, Uganda — from 13 to 15 August 2026. Under the theme “Building Africa’s Future Now,” this summit will challenge young entrepreneurs to think boldly, act decisively, and build businesses that solve real problems facing the African continent.
“Africa’s young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow — they are the entrepreneurs of today. This summit exists to give them the platform, the skills, and the network to prove it.”
— Kidspreneurs Uganda
