More than 1,000 regional and global leaders from politics, business, civil society and academia will bring together to discuss at the 28th World Economic Forum on Africa, from 4 — 6 September.
Theme this year is "Shaping Inclusive Growth and Shared Futures in the Fourth Industrial Revolution". The agenda will cover four key areas: innovation, sustainable development, digitalization and governance.
While young Africans are 13% more entrepreneurial than the global average, start-ups on the continent are 14% more likely to fail than elsewhere in the world. That’s why the World Economic Forum will launch the Africa Growth Program, a new platform to bring enterprises together with investors and institutions, helping them secure smarter funding.
Helping guide talks on Africa’s regional priorities are: Sipho M Pityana, Chairman of AngloGold Ashanti in South Africa; Arancha Gonzalez Laya, Executive Director of the International Trade Centre, Geneva; Jeremy Farrar, Director of the UK-based Wellcome Trust; André Hoffmann, Vice-Chairman of Roche, Switzerland; Ellen Agler, CEO of The END Fund; Jim Ovia, Chairman of Nigeria’s Zenith Bank; and Alex Liu, Managing Partner and Chairman of AT Kearney.
Beyond the political and business leaders, delegates will include Africans with unique stories that could help inspire others, such as Peter Tabichi, who won this year's Global Teacher Prize for his success teaching science in a remote part of Kenya; South African model and activist Thando Hopa, who has changed the way albinism is viewed in Africa and beyond; and Yetnebersh Nigussie from Ethopia, who has won global acclaim for her work on disability rights.
