WHY JOIN THE SOCIAL & INCLUSIVE BUSINESS CAMP NORTH AFRICA 2025?

Since its first edition in 2017, the SIBC has supported nearly 350 social and environmental entrepreneurs across Africa in scaling their businesses, measuring social performance, and preparing for fundraising.

This is a hybrid support program, which includes:

✅ 5 months of online coaching on a dedicated platform, combining interactive virtual classes with international experts and self-paced learning resources.

✅ Two intensive Bootcamps held in Tunis (Tunisia) and Marseille (France) — a unique immersion designed to deliver a transformational experience and multiply your impact.

✅ Regular individual support sessions provided by local incubators in each of the program’s countries.

✅ The opportunity for each participant to be accompanied by a mentor (an experienced program alum) and a tutor.

✅ Networking opportunities, with integration into an active international community of nearly 350 impact-driven entrepreneurs, as well as direct connections with investors and financial partners during the Bootcamps.

The program is structured around 5 key themes:

🧐 DIAGNOSE | Entrepreneurs will question and challenge their social and/or environmental mission, clarify their vision and purpose, and use diagnostic tools (such as the Business Model Canvas, Scale Me Up…) along with personalized coaching.

🌟 INSPIRE | This module encourages entrepreneurs to draw inspiration from nature and the principles of life (respecting environmental limits, fostering inclusivity, adopting collective approaches). It also focuses on building leadership and entrepreneurial posture, with special attention to women entrepreneurs.

🌱 SCALE | Preparing for growth is a crucial step to ensure the sustainability of a project. This may involve geographic expansion, increasing social and/or environmental impact, or developing new partnerships. Entrepreneurs will access tools to measure/evaluate their impact and strategies to communicate effectively about their project.

💸 FINANCE | Which funding for which needs? How to hybridize your business model? What are investors and donors looking for? These are some of the key questions explored in the “Finance” module.

🤝 COOPERATE | This block will help entrepreneurs develop their projects by harnessing the power of the collective. It will enable them to identify the right partners in a complex ecosystem, leverage collective intelligence to generate innovative ideas, and pitch their impact-driven projects effectively to investors and funders.

What’s new in 2025:

✨ A mixed cohort of 25 project leaders.

✨ A stronger focus on maximizing the social and/or environmental impact of projects.

✨ A reinforced presence in all five program countries, with local partners actively supporting entrepreneurs alongside online training.

✨ Two in-person Bootcamps — one in Tunis (Tunisia) and one in Marseille (France) — to meet peers from the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem, experts, investors, and scale up action capacity.

✨ A selection priority given to enterprises with inclusive governance, particularly those ensuring representation of women and other underrepresented profiles in leadership roles.
