AGYLE – African German Young Leaders in Business

AGYLE connects young African and German leaders from business, politics and the media to establish a long-term business network and to develop innovative business models. The goal of AGYLE is to strengthen the African-German dialogue and to lay the foundation for cross-border economic cooperation.

Land of Ideas

Germany’s image is shaped by a number of economic, geographic and cultural factors. Like any location, however, it is primarily defined by its people. The people of Germany, their ideas, and their activities are the bedrock of its society and provide cohesion. The ‘Germany – Land of Ideas’ initiative provides a platform for them.

Dialogues

The ‘Germany – Land of Ideas’ initiative has teamed up with various partners to launch projects that pursue a common goal: to enhance Germany’s international visibility as a hub of ideas and innovation, of quality and creativity – in short, a place that is helping to shape the future in a positive way.

»🚀 AGYLE success stories: Collaboration, Growth, and Resilience

With our AGYLE leadership programme, we bring together young leaders from Africa and Germany for long-term business networking – because we believe that direct encounter and partnership-based exchange between African countries and Germany promotes the development of innovative ideas and projects and thus lays the foundation for sustainable economic cooperation!

Since its beginnings back in 2021, the programme has grown constantly and today the AGYLE network includes more than 160 alumni from five African countries and Germany. One of them is Melat Terefe, founder and creative director of Ethiopian textile and fashion company DolMel ™.
