ANDE Global Annual Conference 2025

About

What does it take to reimagine entrepreneurial ecosystems for a changing world? ANDE’s Global Annual Conference convenes a dynamic mix of unlikely allies — local innovators, global funders, corporate leaders, and grassroots builders — to ask bold questions and co-create practical solutions. This year’s theme challenges us to design ecosystems that are not only more inclusive and resilient but deeply rooted in the needs of emerging markets. Through candid conversations and unexpected collaborations, we’ll break silos to shape what comes next.

The circular economy could unlock eight million new jobs — but entrepreneurs at the forefront face barriers in finance, inclusion, and outdated support models. In a climate where equity and sustainability face resistance, bold language, strong evidence, and coalition-building are essential. This session, led by Youth Business International (YBI) and TechnoServe brings global lessons and practical insights. Together, we’ll explore how shifts in practice, funding, and partnerships can unleash entrepreneurship to power an inclusive and sustainable transition.
