Meet Africa
Who are we?
MEET Africa is the structural and organized network of diaspora entrepreneurs.
MEET Africa - European Mobilization for Entrepreneurship in Africa - is a diaspora entrepreneurship development project between Europe and Africa implemented by Expertise France, co-financed by the European Union and the French Development Agency to the tune of 8.5 million euros.
The MEET Africa program was born out of an observation and a desire shared by two continents. Africa is bursting with potential and innovation. Its European diaspora is a dynamic and legitimate relay of this potential, which strongly participates in the creation of wealth and jobs in Africa.
The MEET Africa 2 program aims to support and accompany inspiring projects led by the African diaspora, but also to mobilize and animate the entrepreneurial ecosystems in Europe and Africa.
