Bidco Africa started as a soap factory in Thika, Kenya in 1985. soleRebels started on a grandmother's plot of land in Addis Ababa with 5 workers in 2005..
Today, Bidco distributes 40+ brands across 17 African countries. Today, soleRebels sells to 30+ countries worldwide through Whole Foods, Amazon, and flagship stores across Asia and Europe.
Neither of them waited for someone else to build what Africa needed. They manufactured it themselves — with local inputs, local talent, and a clear vision of what continental scale could look like.

Access to capital is not the only challenge. How you structure that capital matters more.
Meet our facilitator – a 20+ year finance veteran in Nigeria across retail, commercial, corporate banking, private credit, and now private equity.
At SME Boot Camp 2026, he’s leading a session on structuring finance for expansion. His take: many SMEs struggle because funding isn’t built for growth and sustainability.
You’ll get real-life scenarios, mentorship, and a network that opens doors beyond Nigeria.

You've heard about AfCFTA. But do you actually understand how to use it?
Most founders don't. And that gap — between knowing AfCFTA exists and knowing how to trade under it is costing African businesses real money, real opportunities, and real market access every single day.
That's exactly why we brought in Anele Simon.
International trade and investment lawyer. Master's in European and International Trade and Investment Law from Université Catholique de Lyon, France. And the Acting Secretary General of the Independent Continental Youth Advisory Council on AfCFTA — the people working at the policy level to make sure African businesses actually benefit from this agreement.
Anele's whole mission is translating complex trade rules into practical tools for African entrepreneurs. She does it at the policy level every day. Now she's bringing it into the bootcamp room
This is one of the sessions you cannot afford to miss.
Applications close May 20th.
