About the Cranfield Africa Impact Summit Society
The Cranfield Africa Impact Summit Society is a student-led initiative committed to advancing Africa’s sustainable transformation by promoting collaboration, research, and innovation within and beyond the university community.
Our flagship activity, the Annual Cranfield Africa Impact Summit convenes global thought leaders, researchers, investors, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to deliberate on solutions to Africa’s pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges.
Beyond the Summit, the Society facilitates research, policy dialogues, and practical engagements that generate actionable insights and promote awareness of impact investing, sustainable financing, and inclusive business models across Africa’s SME landscape.
