This is what the AYA SME Business Hub actually looks like.

Real vendors. Real products. Real conversations with the people who came to find them.

Every face here is someone who decided their work deserved a bigger room than the one they started in.

That is the whole point of AYA. You make it, we help the right people find it.

The African Pioneers Podcast goes across the continent seeking out people in tech, leadership and creativity who are actually building something, this episode took us to South Africa.

Our guest, Luvuyo Rani, award-winning social entrepreneur, founder of Silulo Technologies, the Silulo Foundation, and executive director of Africa Forward. There are more than 200,000 social entrepreneurs in South Africa right now: “The revenue that they bring in as social entrepreneurs is about $96 billion.”

His point stays with you, when they started it was about computer literacy. Now it’s digital literacy, and there’s still a long way to go, plenty of people today have never touched a computer.

And on what’s stopping social enterprises from scaling, his answer is policy. Once procurement recognises social enterprise, once you’re not forced to run two entities just to do the work, that’s when the innovation already happening in the townships and rural areas gets to move.

His advice to the youth listening: get yourself AI skills. That’s what keeps you adaptable for whatever the future holds.

What does it actually take to make it on this continent? This one gets you closer to an answer.

The African Pioneers Podcast goes across the continent seeking out people in tech, leadership and creativity who are actually building something, this episode took us to Lesotho.

Our guests, Insyd Owt Creatives, walked into the Future Fit Forum in Amsterdam as the first African brand in that room. They thought they were there to learn. They left knowing they belonged: “We are actually what these people are trying to research.”

Their point stays with you, information alone doesn’t move people. Presentation does. Through the garments, the music, every sense of the creativity, that’s how the world actually understands who we are and where we come from.

And on the misconception that being landlocked means being closed off their answer is simple. Big dreams don’t need a coastline. They want in on the global conversation, not locked behind a border.

What does it actually take to make it on this continent? This one gets you closer to an answer.
