Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>As global crises cast long shadows, Africa stands at a critical crossroads: Will the continent remain on the sidelines of history or will its leaders band together to forge a new path?<\/p>\n

This pivotal question will drive the 2024 Africa CEO Forum, set for 16 and 17 May in Kigali, Rwanda.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme, At the Table or On the Menu? A Critical Moment to Shape a New Future for Africa, underscores the important juncture at which the continent finds itself amidst global economic shifts and challenges.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s 11th edition of the landmark Africa CEO Forum marks more than a decade of unparalleled gatherings of Africa\u2019s most influential leaders, innovators, and policymakers.<\/p>\n

The forum will tackle four transformative agendas: leadership, digital transformation, continental integration, and financing.<\/p>\n

Through a series of panel discussions, workshops, and roundtables, participants will explore strategies to achieve the highest public policy standards conducive to growth; to ensure African business is at the forefront of disruptive innovation; to leverage Africa\u2019s collective weight through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA); and to creatively overcome obstacles to financing Africa\u2019s ambitions. Designed to spur actionable solutions, the summit will accelerate the rise of new African success stories.<\/p>\n

Amir Ben Yahmed, President of the Africa CEO Forum, emphasises, \u201cWe call on our community of leaders shaping the future of Africa to recognise the structural and enduring consequences of the actions they take at this critical time. The forum will be a crucible for innovative strategies and partnerships, propelling the continent into the opportunities of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Se\u0301rgio Pimenta, IFC\u2019s Vice President for Africa, said, \u201cTurning Africa\u2019s $3 trillion GDP into $30 trillion by 2050 will require an unbridled African private sector, enabled by the continent\u2019s policymakers to forge partnerships that create markets, increase intra-African trade and advance investment on the continent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Africa CEO Forum is the continent\u2019s premier gathering, uniting Africa\u2019s top executives, global investors, and government leaders annually. In partnership with IFC, this year\u2019s flagship event will host more than 2,000 public and private sector decision-makers, including over 900 CEOs.<\/p>\n

Confirmed attendees include high-profile individuals such as H.E. Wamkele Mene, General Secretary of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA ), Makhtar Diop, Managing Director of IFC, Mesfin Tassew, Group CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, Jean-Pascal Tricoire, Chairman of the Board of Schneider Electric, James Mworia, Group CEO & MD of Centum Investment, Sudhir Ruparelia, Chairman of Ruparelia Group, Clare Akamanzi, CEO of NBA Africa, Rostam Aziz, CEO of Taifa Gas, Hardy Pemhiwa, President & CEO of Cassava Technologies or Patricia Poku Diaby, CEO Plot Entreprise Ghana, Karl Olutokun Toriola, MTN Nigeria\u2019s CEO, Faith Mukutu, CEO of Zambeef, Diane Karusisi, CEO Bank of Kigali , Patty Karuaihe-Martin, CEO of NamibRe.<\/p>\n

Their presence underlines the forum\u2019s status as a critical convener for those looking to shape Africa\u2019s business landscape.<\/p>\n

In addition, several Heads of State are expected to attend, further signifying the Forum\u2019s pivotal role in fostering high-level dialogue and partnerships.<\/p>\n

These leaders will join forces with attendees to contribute to a collective endeavour that promises to chart a new course for Africa\u2019s economic future.<\/p>\n
