WELCOME
The Social Impact Start-up Academy (SISTAC) is a non-profit organization that fosters impact entrepreneurship by connecting students with impact start-ups, particularly from the Global South. Through innovative educational formats, SISTAC enables students to engage directly with real-world challenges faced by these start-ups. This hands-on approach allows students to develop practical skills while contributing to the success and sustainability of social enterprises.
By facilitating cooperation between students and entrepreneurs, SISTAC not only enhances learning outcomes but also addresses critical gaps in entrepreneurial education and support, particularly in regions like Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya.
