Digital Entrepreneurship and Inclusive Talent for Africa’s Youth with Disabilities

This session from the Inclusive Africa Conference 2025 explores how digital entrepreneurship and virtual work are creating new economic pathways for youth with disabilities across the continent.

The session covers practical strategies to build inclusive digital ecosystems through funding, mentorship, accessible design, and business development support.
