Samenvatting:

Inclusive Entrepreneurship in Africa offers a timely and essential examination of how diversity, equity, and inclusion are reshaping the continent’s entrepreneurial landscape. Bringing together cutting-edge research, lived experiences, and practical strategies, this book highlights the untapped potential of women, refugee communities, and marginalised groups across Africa and the Global South. Organized into three thematic parts, the book explores the lived realities and innovation potential of women and refugee entrepreneurs; the performance and strategic advantages of gender-diverse entrepreneurial teams; and the role of inclusive design in building trusted, sustainable ventures. Each chapter offers new insights into how systemic barriers can be overcome through inclusive practices, stakeholder engagement, and culturally grounded entrepreneurship. Far from treating inclusion as a peripheral issue, this volume positions it as central to Africa’s entrepreneurial future. Inclusive Entrepreneurship in Africa is a powerful call to action for scholars, policymakers, investors, and practitioners to build more equitable ecosystems where all entrepreneurs –regardless of gender, background, or ability – can thrive and contribute to sustainable development across the continent.
