IAEE Edition 2020
Relive the experience
The International Exhibition of African Entrepreneurship (IAEE), supported byZion Kick-Up Startups (ZKS)was born in Switzerland in November 2020. It aims to bring high African entrepreneurial genius while contributing to the construction of the African continent. Through this event, discover Africa as it has never been presented to you!
The first edition of the IAEE
Initially scheduled for May 16, 2020, the event had to be postponed due to confinement, and in a global climate of great uncertainty. And when, at the end of October, health restrictions in Switzerland prohibited all gatherings, it was within extremely short deadlines that the organizing team of ZION KICK-UP STARTUPS converted the event into a 100% digital one. A great success that attracted the cameras of RTS (Radio Télévision Suisse). This resilience and determination in the midst of a crisis echoed the theme of the edition: "Building the Africa we want is POSSIBLE!"
