The APTE Summit is a dynamic – and free – annual event that showcases how innovative leaders around the world are advancing in the battle against poverty. This one day event brings together people of all walks of life who have one thing in common: they want to do good, and try to do it better. The community we foster connects students, academics, practitioners, policy makers, and community members who have the collective power to truly change the world. We believe entrepreneurship, innovation and new ways of thinking will turn the tables in the effort to end poverty.
