The Africa CEO Forum brings together executives and investors as well as 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.

The Glo Executive Vice Chairman, who will chair the Women in Business Initiative, emphasised that in today’s global world and with tech-enabled access to knowledge and opportunities, there has never been a better time for women to look around and see other women who influence them.

The Jeune Afrique Media Group and Rainbow Unlimited  explained that 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?”
