Sponsorship 2026

Partner with the Marketplace.

The room where Africa's women-led businesses meet the market.

The Marketplace community
Why Sponsor

Not a logo on a banner.

The Marketplace puts your brand in the room with hundreds of women-led businesses, the buyers who source from them, and the investors who fund them. It is direct access to a market growing faster than the support around it.

Ways to Partner

Six ways in.

Headline Partner

The Marketplace, presented by you. Full visibility across both days, all channels, and every Chapter.

Chapter Partner

Power a Female Founders Demo Chapter — in Tanzania, or open a new market.

Deal Room Partner

Own the room where capital meets founders. Structured meetings, your name on them.

Awards Partner

Present an award at the Gala Dinner on the evening of Day One.

Sponsor Founders

Fund exhibition booths and tickets for entrepreneurs who couldn't otherwise attend.

In-Kind Partner

Venue, catering, media, logistics, production. Value comes in many forms.

Trusted By

Institutions that have backed this floor.

The Marketplace has been built with embassies, UN agencies, trade bodies, and cultural institutions who supported women-led business before it was fashionable.
