FORGE Global Summit 2024 was the third annual gathering of believers driving change through entrepreneurship in emerging and frontier markets. Participants were immersed in a unique blend of culture, faith, entrepreneurship, and opportunity. They were able to engage with models, practical tools, resources, and mentorship opportunities while connecting with people God has planted around the world who share a passion and a calling for business.
Following the FORGE Global Summit, select training and acceleration organizations were invited to an additional two-day event called FORGE Construct for deeper practical workshops and off-site engagement. To learn about the criteria for participants, contact sbracquine@sinapis.org.

FORGE strives to showcase thriving Christian entrepreneurial ecosystems across different cultures, and this time it is hosted on a different continent in Cape Town, South Africa. Commonly known as the ‘Mother City’, famous for its Table Mountain, gardens, beaches, food, wine and outdoor lifestyle, Cape Town is city of contrasts in a land of beautiful contradictions. Glaring inequality, the legacy of colonialism and apartheid is given hope through a society of faith-based tolerance, a land of abundant flora and fauna and a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem focussed on social and environmental impact, illustrating the diversity and resilience of what Archbishop Desmond Tutu called ‘The Rainbow Nation’.
Our host partners, Ziwani and Relativ, are proud to welcome you to their sunny shores to come and experience what it means to feel and know how God has blessed Africa, and how Africa is a blessing from God to the world.
“Can you imagine thriving ecosystems of faith-driven entrepreneurs in every country in the world? The least reached, most difficult places. Organizations united around the globe, sharing knowledge and tools. Capital providers deploying billions of dollars into the markets that need it most. Do you believe it is possible? Let’s dream bigger.”
Here is a sample of a few of the FORGE 2024 workshops:
