GUEST: Vuyani Jarana – Chair, Startup20 under South Africa’s G20 Presidency (2025)
South Africa’s leadership of Startup20 under the 2025 G20 Presidency has marked a defining moment for the continent’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. For the first time, Africa is steering global conversations on how startups and SMMEs can power sustainable economic growth not from the sidelines, but from the driver’s seat.
We’re joined by Vuyani Jarana, Chair of Startup20 SA, to unpack how the engagement group has spent the past year shaping policy grounded in the lived realities of founders from access to finance and market barriers to the revitalisation of township and rural entrepreneurship.
