Simply Complex Africa

Background: Simply Complex Africa™ is a pioneering Marketplace of Possibility, designed to empower African diaspora women, youth innovators, and women leaders. The event convenes diplomats, policymakers, corporates, and diaspora entrepreneurs for a day of collaborative dialogue, co-creation, and tangible outputs that will extend

well beyond the event itself. This first edition convenes African diaspora women in leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation, alongside diplomats, investors, and policy influencers. Participants are not passive listeners—they become co-creators of solutions, platforms, and content that will continue to shape communities and ecosystems long after the event ends. From bold conversations and round tables to live media creation and a generational bridge debate, the day culminates in a Marketplace Showcase where outcomes are presented: a live SMME website, a digital magazine, a podcast series, and a commitment wall app. Every ticket guarantees not just entry, but the opportunity to leave with solutions, partnerships, and accountability networks.
