“The world has entered a complex and probably long-lasting period of economic and political tensions that require our continent to question its growth model. In this perspective, it is imperative that we place economic sovereignty at the heart of our project and propose new routes for African prosperity centered around green growth, industrial transformation, the digital economy and public-private dialogue”, said Amir Ben Yahmed, President and Founder of the AFRICA CEO FORUM.

“COVID-19 has put a strain on African economies and people, but they have shown resilience. Now we need to focus on recovery. Although much turbulence is to be expected, now is the time for Africa to harness its strengths and fully mobilize the new engines of growth to emerge stronger from the pandemic. IFC’s support for the AFRICA CEO FORUM demonstrates our commitment to mobilizing private sector partners around a common goal: to build a better, greener and more inclusive future for Africa,” said Makhtar Diop, managing director of the IFC.

The AFRICA CEO FORUM has been the main meeting place for CEOs, international investors and African governments for 10 years. During the last physical edition of the Forum in 2019, more than 1500 decision-makers, including 700 CEOs, gathered in Kigali, Rwanda.

Case studies, expert testimony, practical workshops, high-level working groups: this year, the AFRICA CEO FORUM will present new innovative formats allowing participants to discuss the strengthening of African economic sovereignty.

The AFRICA CEO FORUM Awards, which reward the most proactive companies and personalities on the continent each year, will open their doors to some twenty of the most important startups in Africa through the initiative Disrupters Club.
