Mauritius: a new flagship ecosystem?

26 March 2026 – 11 am – 12 pm (Paris) – 2–3 pm (Mauritius)

Mauritius is establishing itself today as one of the most dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystems in Africa. How can this trajectory be explained? What are its main success factors? And what lessons can be drawn from it for understanding how entrepreneurial ecosystems evolve?

Drawing on a study conducted by theEntrepreneurial Ecosystem Lab on the evolution of the Mauritian entrepreneurial ecosystem, this webinar will shed light on its transformations and the challenges ahead, bringing together the perspectives of several key players in this ecosystem.

This webinar, organised by the Fondation MMA des Entrepreneurs du Futur and the Labex Entreprendre’s Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Lab, aims to answer these questions by bringing together the perspectives of French and Canadian researchers and practitioners, as well as grassroots actors and national networks.
