The Alliance goes to Sankalp Africa â An Invitation to Clean Cooking Enterprises
In 2014, the Alliance redoubled its efforts to support the capacity development and scaling of clean cooking enterprises. As a part of this effort, the Alliance has teamed with the Sankalp Forum and the Global Social Benefit Incubator (GSBI) to host a round table with entrepreneurs at the Sankalp Africa Summit 2014 on February 13 in Nairobi, Kenya. Cookstove and fuel entrepreneurs are invited to attend this important event to broaden their access to the right resources to help scale their businesses.
Sankalp Forum, one of the world's largest SME-focused platforms, is expanding to Africa. Sankalp was first initiated in India, and since 2009 has connected over 900 SMEs to 300 investors and spurred investments of over US$ 120 million into 40+ SMEs. The Sankalp Africa Summit 2014 will be held in Nairobi, Kenya on February 12 – 13, 2014 and will convene over 350 SMEs, investors, service providers, industry networks, policy makers and academia from Africa, US, Europe and India.
The Alliance is co-sponsoring a roundtable with GSBI on Thursday, February 13 at 1:30pm (13:30) titled: Social Entrepreneurs: Share your needs to build your business.
