This course will discuss the latest topics with a focus on the forefront of East Africa, Latin America and a focus on new investment models and new entrepreneurship approaches. The course will provide case studies of leading innovators and trends, especially those from East Africa, where social innovation and impact investing has built out particularly strong over the years.
