Program 2017

The 2017 overall theme is “Investing in Africa’s transition: How, not Why?”. Africa has seen staggering growth over the last 15 years. It is now the world’s second fastest growing region, with the youngest population. The continent will also hold the world’s largest workforce by 2040. These transitions will require a committed private sector that can help grow food supply, healthcare services, infrastructure/ energy, communication, technology and educational services, among much else.
