FOLLOW TRIGA VENTURES
The Academy (formerly known as the NextGen Summit) is for aspiring entrepreneurs, innovators and creatives passionate about aligning with God to solve some of our time’s most pressing issues. This year promises to be bigger and better than ever before. You do not want to miss it! The Academy will be divided into two parts: a two-week virtual journey (13 and 20 June 2023, respectively) and an in-person weekend gathering in Stellenbosch (28 – 30 July 2023). Expect keynote speakers, industry-related panel discussions, group reflections, and brainstorming sessions to navigate the intersection between work and faith. The weekend has an exciting programme line-up that even promises the opportunity for individuals to pitch for prize money.
Attendees wanting to learn more and dig deeper, can also apply to be part of the NextGen Founders Programme (see more information in the link below).

“Triga was recommended to me by a dear friend who clearly saw the fire that lit up in my eyes every time I spoke about Social Entrepreneurship. Also, I love Jesus! So stepping into a world where these two things collide was absolutely mind-blowing. Triga is the first community that I’ve seen that carries the perfect balance of equipping leaders with practical tools, keeping people and community upliftment as the core focus and using the life and teachings of Jesus as the foundations of the entire programme. This is a community built by excellence and a love for redemption. Only great things can come from it!”
