India Africa Entrepreneurship Forum
Built by contribution.
Sustained by contributors.
For six years, this forum has run on the effort and generosity of its patrons — a not-for-profit mission to give back to the ecosystem and deepen the India-Africa corridor. Today, for the first time, we are opening the platform to those who want to contribute to what comes next.

Why we are opening the platform
Goodwill built this corridor community. Goodwill alone cannot scale it. We want the corridor working twelve months a year, not three days a year — an academy, real intelligence, real rooms where policy and deals move. That takes resources. Rather than turning to advertisers or gatekeepers, we are inviting the community itself to carry it forward. This is not a membership you buy. It is a seat you take.
What your contribution powers
Every circle, whatever the level, unlocks the full year-round programme.
India-Africa Academy
Programmes that train bureaucrats, civil servants and business leaders to enter, operate and invest across the corridor — taught by the government and business leaders of this network.
The Corridor Brief
A quarterly members-only deep dive: deal flow, policy shifts, trade-route and tariff intelligence across twelve sectors. Never published publicly.
Policy Round Tables
Closed-door round tables shaping corridor policy, twice a year and growing. Capped seats, partner level only. The corridor's inner room.
Corridor Conversations
Podcasts and webinars twice a month with founders, investors, DFIs and policymakers on deepening business ties and improving investment flows.
Plus member pricing and member-only sessions at the annual India-Africa Entrepreneurship & Investment Summit.
Summit Founding pricing closes midnight, Monday 20 July 2026
The Contribution Circles
Every circle is by application, because this community stays close-knit. Founding contributors joining during Summit week lock their rate for life. Standard pricing applies from 21 July 2026.

$7,500 / year after 20 July
The corridor's inner room — capped at 20 seats, by invitation of the convenors. Everything in Champion, plus the closed-door Policy Round Tables, co-authorship of IAEF policy notes, and direct access to the convenor group.
IAEF is a not-for-profit initiative. Every contribution is reinvested in the corridor programme.

Questions, answered
Everything so far has been funded by the effort and generosity of a small group of patrons. Contributions let the whole community carry the mission together — and the programme returns far more than it asks. IAEF remains a not-for-profit; every dollar goes back into the corridor.
Because the value is the room. Approval keeps this a close-knit working community, not an audience.
Yes. Corridor Builder and above can be held by an institution, and the Corridor Patron tier exists precisely for organisations.
Summit Founding pricing closes permanently and standard pricing applies. Founding contributors keep their founding rate for life while continuously subscribed.
The corridor is built by the people who keep showing up between the summits.
