Where African leaders connect with global investors and partners
Africa stands at a crossroads. The continent brims with immense potential: innovative tech sectors, a dynamic young population, and rising global interest in its markets. Yet, pressing challenges threaten to derail progress: climate change devastates communities, unsustainable debt limits growth, and lack of opportunities for youth creates social instability. The key question: How can African nations harness their strengths, navigate global volatility, address the climate crisis, and unlock the power of their youth to drive sustainable, inclusive growth?
The FT Africa Summit is the space where answers begin. Join our prestigious lineup of policymakers, business leaders, financiers and visionaries for crucial dialogues and networking on transforming Africa's challenges into opportunities.
