“Africa is rich in business diversity and, when properly connected, African businesses can make greater contributions to economic expansion and human development,” the EVC stated.
“Globacom is intentional about fostering an environment for African businesses to thrive,” she stated.
According to the organisers, the forum will “unite its 2000 participants around a transformation agenda… What priorities must be identified to boost the level of intra-African trade and investment? What must a united Africa do to better protect its interests and industries? How can we mobilise the private sector around cross-border infrastructure and logistical projects?”
The Africa CEO Forum is the foremost annual international meeting for executives and investors in Africa brings together Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), international investors, experts and high-level policy makers, and features discussions that mobilise African businesses to champion private sector-led growth while building sustainable organisations.
