Keynote address: From Resilience to Innovation: Empowering Africa's Next Generation of Founders

What does it take to build a generation of founders in one of Africa's fastest-growing innovation ecosystems? In honour of Women's History Month, Stella Rusine Nteziryayo, CEO of the Development Bank of Rwanda, opens Founders Day with a compelling reflection on resilience, inclusion, and the power of purposeful capital. She makes the case for why investing in women-led innovation is not just the right thing to do - it is the smartest economic decision Africa can make.
