Sector Labs
Sector Labs is a collaborative event series we, as Relevant, curate in Kampala, Uganda that brings together entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem players to learn, connect and bridge the gap between founders seeking capital and the stakeholders who help unlock it.
So far, we have organised 5 Sector Lab events attended by over 600 professionals over the last 5 years.
At our most recent Sector Lab, 25% of participants forged new partnerships, 12% raised financing, and 9% invested in a venture.
“Breakout discussions were very beneficial in understanding the ecosystem landscape.”
“I had the opportunity to collaborate closely with diverse, mission-driven innovators working at the intersection of social impact, entrepreneurship, and systems change.”
“While the overall concept and approach of the event is amazing, the networking part with entrepreneurs stands out the most.”
