The Africa Business Conference, organised by the Harvard Business School(HBS), stands as the premier student-led event worldwide dedicated to African business affairs. Celebrating its 26th anniversary, the conference convenes over 1,000 African students and industry leaders from across the globe to deliberate on the continent’s pressing issues and devise actionable solutions. Beyond its intellectual merits, the event offers an unparalleled platform for networking.

This year’s conference theme, “Africa Forward: Competing in a Global Era,” underscores the imperative to unearth technological, policy, and other innovations that can fortify African enterprises’ competitiveness. The aim is to propel the African continent toward the economic, social, and political milestones envisioned for the coming decades.
