Kampala Impact Day 2024, a hybrid event is redefining the entrepreneurial landscape by empowering entrepreneurs with tools and connections to drive sustainable growth. Rooted in the Triple Bottom Line principle—People, Planet, and Profit—the event aims to provide an inclusive platform for social entrepreneurs to drive meaningful change within their communities and beyond. Entrepreneurs also have the opportunity to exhibit their businesses, highlighting innovative solutions that address societal challenges while promoting environmental sustainability and economic growth.

The Kampala Impact Day underscores the importance of collaboration among entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem leaders, fostering synergies that amplify impact.

One key activity of the event will be a pitching session, where six (6) entrepreneurs will present their ventures to a panel of potential investors.

The stakes are high, as awards await those with the most compelling pitches, including recognition for innovation, teamwork, and business scalability. This competitive segment aims to inspire and reward excellence in social entrepreneurship.
