The New Economy Accelerator - South Africa

NEA is a movement for a new economy that seeks to challenge the status quo and create a more inclusive and sustainable future. Through catalyzing networks, innovating solutions, and promoting investments, they are building a platform for actors to connect, a community of practices to grow, and emerging solutions to spread. Their mission is to support the development of 50 new economy initiatives over the coming 3 years, by amplifying the stories of innovators on the ground, changing the economic narrative, and building a critical mass of changemakers. With Africa's fastest growing economies and a positive foreign investor sentiment, NEA stands as an opportunity to set the continent on a development trajectory that addresses poverty, conflict, and inequality. By providing a platform for sharing stories and ideas, they hope to create a movement that will lead to mainstream change.
