Tanzania to host 2025 Africa Kidpreneur Summit

Dar es Salaam. Tanzania has been selected to host the prestigious Africa Kidpreneur Summit in 2025, an event focused on inspiring and nurturing young African entrepreneurs.

The announcement was made by Kidpreneur Africa, yesterday, an organisation devoted to promoting entrepreneurship and financial literacy among children across the continent, in partnership with Tanzania Youth Entrepreneurship Experience (TYEE).

Founded by Nigerian entrepreneur Ms Juliet Obi, the Africa Kidpreneur Summit is a Pan-African initiative designed to cultivate the next generation of business leaders.

The event will bring together children aged 7 to 18 from various African countries, alongside educators, policymakers, and industry leaders, creating a platform to explore entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership for African youth.

Scheduled for August 13th to 15th, 2025, the summit promises an exciting and transformative experience for participants.

Its activities will include plenary sessions, panel discussions, themed masterclasses, kidpreneur showcases, exhibitions, and pitch competitions, giving young entrepreneurs the opportunity to learn from industry experts, showcase their ideas, and gain insights on how to succeed in business.

One of the highlights of the event will be the Kidpreneur Pitch Competition, where young entrepreneurs from across the continent will present their innovative business ideas to a panel of potential sponsors and partners, including individuals, institutions, and businesses.

The competition aims to help young visionaries secure support to bring their entrepreneurial ideas to fruition.

Hosting the Africa Kidpreneur Summit in Tanzania is seen as a testament to the country’s growing commitment to nurturing entrepreneurship among its youth.

TYEE, an NGO dedicated to promoting financial and entrepreneurial literacy among children and youth, expressed excitement about the opportunity.

The organization emphasized that the summit is an important milestone in fostering a culture of entrepreneurship and financial responsibility in Tanzania.

“The summit perfectly aligns with our mission to equip young minds with essential entrepreneurial skills and financial acumen to succeed in the modern world,” TYEE stated in a press release.

In addition to the educational activities, the summit will also provide participants with the opportunity to become Kidpreneur Ambassadors, representing their countries and serving as role models for aspiring entrepreneurs across Africa.

This initiative aims to empower young innovators to overcome barriers and confidently take their place on the global stage.

The summit is expected to strengthen partnerships and collaborations among educational institutions, businesses, and policymakers.

These partnerships are seen as key to inspiring the development of innovative educational programs that will continue to empower future generations of African entrepreneurs.

“As the 2025 Africa Kidpreneur Summit approaches, it is anticipated to be an event that not only shapes the future of entrepreneurship in Africa but also positions Tanzania as a leader in promoting youth innovation and leadership across the continent,” reads another part of the statement.
