Social Business Cases: Experience African Business Models First-Hand

How do social businesses combine societal impact with viable business models? The Speaker Series Africa Edition at the University of Bayreuth addresses this question with personal insights from practice. On November 10, 2026, interested parties will meet at the Africa Research Center to learn about perspectives on social innovation and entrepreneurship in the African context.

Practical Impulses Rather Than Pure Theory

The focus of the framework seminar is on external speakers who present their social businesses and personal experiences. Their contributions illustrate how social challenges can be translated into concrete business ideas, organizational models, and sustainable impact.

The event is aimed at students, researchers, those interested in starting businesses, and anyone curious about social entrepreneurship, international cooperation, and innovative business models. The academic classification combines scientific perspectives with illustrative reports from practice.

Exchange, Questions, and Plenary Discussion

After the short presentations, there will be space for questions and a joint plenary discussion. This creates a vibrant event atmosphere where different viewpoints come together, and central themes around impact, financing, scaling, and social responsibility are discussed.

The event experience thrives on direct exchange: attendees will have the opportunity to deepen thoughts, contribute their own questions, and take away new impulses for study, research, or starting a business. The Speaker Series can be attended as a single event.

Organization and Event Framework

The seminar is organized by the Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Bayreuth. The event planning combines compact expert presentations with interactive discussions, thus creating a format for sustainable target group engagement, knowledge transfer, and networking.

The event will take place in room S 148 of the Africa Research Center at the University of Bayreuth. Additionally, a hybrid setting is planned, allowing the event to be followed digitally as well.

Conclusion: Understanding African Social Businesses Live

The Social Business Cases – Speaker Series Africa Edition offers compact expert impulses, authentic practical experiences, and space for open questions. Those who wish to understand social innovation not just abstractly but through concrete business models will experience an informative and dialogue-oriented afternoon in Bayreuth.
