History shows that value shifts are always triggered by a new story. The current state of the world has given a rare chance to Africa to rewrite the story of Africa. But to do that, governments of African nations need the boldness to review and challenge the current models which drive government and private sector actions in Africa.
According to Dr. Brian Reuben, CEO, Africa Economic Summit Group, ‘Africa is better off united than otherwise’. “We have never before needed one another than we do today. No nation can alone effectively fight the unfair treatment of African nations, misrepresentation of Africa in the international press, defeat terrorism, empower productivity or arrest youth unemployment. Our best chance of success is working together.”
‘It is for this purpose that we are organizing the maiden edition of Africa Economic Summit, a high-level assemblage of thought leaders to discuss issues and frame solutions to the economic problems affecting Africa.’
Through keynotes, special addresses, interviews, round table discussions and theme-focused strategic sessions with distinguished thought leaders and subject matter experts the summit will discuss critical issues to help business and political leaders gain clarity on issues of prime importance around re – defining global partnerships with Africa, Innovation, The Fourth Industrial Revolution, African Continental Free trade Area Agreement and energy transition. Participants will harvest the finest of thoughts by Africans and the friends of Africa in addressing the economic issues in Africa from an African perspective.
The Africa Economic Summit also offers participants the chance to forge a path forward to necessary solutions on issues affecting the world with ambitious African leadership.
The one-day summit which will hold on March 30th at Fourpoints By Sheraton Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos is planned to close with a release of a white paper on coordinated actions that governments and institutions should commit to and implement for the improvement of the economy of Africa, strengthening the competitiveness of African companies, addressing security challenges among others. The summit will feature speakers and participants from across African nations.
Through the Africa Economic Summit, we hope to facilitate new investments, encourage business development, share best practices, guarantee peer-to-peer networking, offer new industry insight, showcase excellence and promote thought leadership.
