From 16 to 20 September 2024, 40 young leaders from Ethiopia, Ghana, Rwanda, Tunisia, Senegal and Germany from the new AGYLE cohort met in Berlin to discuss innovative solutions for sustainable economic transformation.

This year's core theme was:

Circular Economy - How young leaders are helping to shape the transformation

In its fourth year, the AGYLE network once again formed a bridge between the African and German start-up and business worlds. The week focussed on matchmaking and workshop formats as well as impulses from personalities from business and politics.

From September 11th to 15th, 40 young leaders from Ghana, Rwanda, Tunisia, Senegal, and Germany came together in Berlin for the AGYLE Live Week 2023. The goals of this event included strengthening the African-German dialogue, initiating new economic partnerships, and modernizing Germany's perception of Africa. In addition, these young leaders collaborated in workshops to develop innovative solutions for common challenges within the context of digital transformation.

The core theme of AGYLE 2023 was: Digital transformation – young leaders working towards a green and inclusive future

Key topics included: the growing disparity in digital technology access, ethics in AI, digital education, and blockchain. As part of an exclusive closing event on September 15th, an expert jury recognized the most promising idea from the creative workshops. The programme was enriched by panel discussions, exclusive dialogue formats featuring representatives from politics and business, and visits to leading companies.

End of September 2022, the participants of the first two years came together for the first AGYLE Week in Berlin. The week provided our young leaders with professional input and inspiration; and of course, there was plenty of time to get to know each other, exchange ideas and strengthen the AGYLE network. In addition, company visits, innovation workshops and a fireplace chat as well as networking events were on the agenda.

The programme focused on: Green Innovation - Young Leaders tackling Climate Change.

The AGYLE Digital Week 2022 took place from 27 June to 01 July and focused on interdisciplinary exchange and networking, professional motivation and cross-border cooperation. At the heart was a virtual design thinking lab, in which our young leaders from Africa and Germany developed selected ideas and business models in mixed teams. The programme was rounded off by virtual panels, keynote speeches, bar camps, and cultural activities.

During the AGYLE Digital Week 2021, 40 young leaders from Africa and Germany worked in mixed teams to develop innovative business models.
