As part of the 2025 Sustaining Impact Summit, this virtual fireside chat is designed to explore how social enterprise ecosystems can be structured and scaled to drive long-term, inclusive, and sustainable impact. With over two decades of experience, Social Enterprise UK (SEUK) stands as one of the world’s most influential social enterprise networks—offering a valuable model for peer networks, policy influence, and member engagement.

Africa is witnessing a rise in social innovation and entrepreneurship, but the enabling infrastructure to support these ventures often remains fragmented or underdeveloped. Learning directly from SEUK’s experience will equip summit participants—especially ecosystem builders and network leaders—with adaptable insights on what it takes to build, govern, and sustain thriving social enterprise communities.
