The 28th Africa Business Conference will gather attendees under the theme: “Owning Tomorrow — Africa’s Agency in a Shifting World.”
About this Event

This year’s theme responds to a pivotal moment. Global conflict, shifting alliances, and rapid technological change have sidelined African priorities, yet the continent continues to push forward. From cultural exports shaping global narratives to regional cooperation and economic resilience, Africa is asserting its agency in new ways.

We will explore how leaders, businesses, and creatives can shape tomorrow on their own terms, challenging outdated assumptions and spotlighting sectors where Africa is already leading, from fashion and film to digital innovation and fintech.

Join us as we highlight Africa’s growing global influence across culture, technology, and commerce.
