“In January 2023, Africa Centre and Prairies Economic Development Canada conducted the first-ever study on Black Entrepreneurship in Alberta, dedicated to uncovering challenges and fostering new opportunities, said Kojo B Otoo, Africa Centre’s senior manager of entrepreneurial engagement.
The Summit delved into diverse, effective financial strategies, methods for capital acquisition, and approaches to managing liabilities. It offered substantial networking opportunities, attracting numerous Albertans to the Hotel Arts in Calgary.
With a diverse group of new and experienced entrepreneurs ready to gain an impactful experience, the summit showcases a commitment to values and
systems that will shape a meaningful and impactful event for all participants.
