South African Ideas Festival

South African Ideas Festival An Entrepreneurial Festival uniting African Youth who are passionate about sparking change in the community. Get excited for February’s Virtual SAIF 2021!��

The South African Ideas Festival is a Local Ideas Festival that is organised and executed by the Bezos Scholars from the African Leadership Academy. The Bezos Scholars are a chosen group of students from around America and the African Leadership Academy, who are sponsored by the Bezos Scholars Program to attend the Aspen Ideas Festival and soon after create their own Local Ideas Festival in their

communities. The festival aims to create a platform that connects innovative youths to develop their ideas and leadership skills in order for them to realise their potential for lasting impact. We hope that through this we will help create a youthful generation with innovative mindsets and design thinking skills to address global issues and create lasting impact in any community.

This July, our Aspen journey as the Bezos Scholars Program team of 25-26 came to an end. It was an amazing opportunity to connect and learn from incredible people at the Aspen Ideas Festival.

Now, it’s time to bring all that inspiration home. We are thrilled to begin our work on the South African Ideas Festival 2026! Follow along as we share our journey and build a community of innovators and changemakers. We look forward to meeting you and collaborating with those who are ready to turn great ideas into real community impact.
