ABC 2026 | Africa Grow

At Africa Business Convention 2026, with the theme, Africa Grow, the following four questions around Africa’s growth will be on the front burner:

  1. How can we accelerate the current level of growth in Africa while narrowing the disparity?
  2. How can we best build the required foundations, structures, systems, investment channels, and important relationships that will support long-term, sustainable growth on the continent?
  3. What are the necessary economic reforms needed for rapid, sustained, and inclusive growth in Africa?
  4. Where are the existing and emerging big business and investment opportunities for businesses and governments betting on Africa?
