Championing African Visionaries
(1)

A future worth building is one where young people have the tools and confidence to shape it.

That is the next beat for Africa. And Noelle Mahuvi has been doing that work for years. 💚 It's again.

As the founder and executive director of Great Hope Foundation, she is helping young people turn potential into real options through skills, confidence, and purpose.

Through UWEZO, the organization’s flagship program, thousands of young people are picking up practical entrepreneurship and life skills early, including how to think through a basic business idea, budget what they earn, and show up with confidence.

That effort has already reached more than 8,500 young people, many in communities where opportunity can feel like it belongs to someone else.

When we talk about the next beat of African development, this is the kind of preparation that matters. A generation that can imagine, build, and lead what comes next changes the whole trajectory, and she is making sure they have the tools to do it.

This July in Nairobi, those ideas will be in the room with the people pushing them forward.

Every rhythm has an origin.

This one started with a belief. The belief that the next beat for Africa will not be written by spectators. In fact, it will be written by those bold enough to build, imagine, and lead. By the builders, changemakers, visionaries, and local leaders already shaping the future from within.

For 20 years, that belief found its rhythm.

Then it became a pulse...
..and so it begins.

Act I of The Next Beat: The Spark.

We can't wait to experience it with you. 💚

Some performances stay with you for years.

What line from this unforgettable snippet 🤯 of Mufasa the Poet at Future Summit 2021 stayed with you most?

A small reminder from the archives: the next beat for Africa belongs to those paying attention. 🚀

If the next beat is meant to carry us forward, it has to be locally-led. 💚

The past few years have made one thing clear: resilience cannot be outsourced, and neither can leadership.

Our 2025 Annual Report is proof of that. Watch how local leaders carried us through a heavy season → https://www.segalfamilyfoundation.org/reports/2025-annual-report/

And if 20 years have taught us anything, it’s this ⤵️

The next beat is best shaped by the people closest to the realities, opportunities, and possibilities of their communities. 💡

That’s why we trust local leaders. That’s why we invest in local visionaries...because what lasts is built from within. And this July, we gather to carry that forward. : July 21–24. Nairobi. ✨

Innovation means very little if it only moves some people forward.

The future works best when more people can step into it.

That is the next beat for Africa.

And Colman Ndetembea is helping design it. 🌍

As the co-founder and CEO of Kyaro Assistive Tech, Colman is designing a future where disability no longer defines possibility. 🇹🇿

What began as a final-year university design project for a multipurpose wheelchair has grown into a company that designs and manufactures affordable, appropriate, and dignified assistive devices for people with disabilities across Sub-Saharan Africa.

And the need is urgent: only 2% of people with disabilities in developing regions like East Africa have access to the assistive devices they need.

That means millions of futures are still being shaped by barriers that should not exist.

Colman is working to change that because he believes the next beat of African innovation removes the barriers between people and their possibilities, and builds a future wide enough for everyone to find their place in it.

This July at , Nairobi becomes the city where such bold visions for the continent come together, evolve, and move forward. Stay tuned. 🥁

Every great gathering has its storytellers. 💚

You know, the people who help us make sense of the moment while we’re living it.

This year, we’re thrilled to welcome our very own John Rexford Nzira and Sylvia Ilahuka as emcees.

You can feel the room getting ready. The next beat is here. July 21-24, 2026.

Yet another new partner?! Yes. Meet Uncommon.org 🇿🇼 💚

This Zimbabwean organization provides free (keyword: "free") technology education, entrepreneurship, and employment training to youth and young adults in under-resourced communities.

We especially love that they build self-sufficient, solar-powered innovation hubs using shipping containers, and their model allows already trained youth to give back by teaching and inspiring younger students, therefore creating a powerful cycle of peer mentorship.

To find out more about them and their uncommon vision for the future, visit uncommon.org and watch out for them during as we gather to discuss the next beat of African-led innovation.

It's Nairobi again, this July. 🇰🇪🌟 Ready?

There's something about Nairobi that makes the future feel unusually close.

Maybe it's the energy, the people, or the fact that the Silicon Savannah has always had a way of pulling ambitious ideas and bold possibilities into the same orbit.

This July, the next beat of African-led innovation finds its home in this East African city for Segal 2026.

Do tell - what's your favorite thing about Nairobi? 👇

One question that matters, and a lot of answers, depending on where you’re standing, and one future we get to shape together. 🌟
