The twelfth edition of the FT Africa Summit slated for later this month will explore how African governments can explore collaborations to deepen its share of global trade.
The summit will bring together heads of states, investors, policymakers and innovators to discuss ways of addressing most critical economic and policy priorities.
The FT Africa Summit will provide a space where investment signals, strategic alliances, and actionable solutions emerge.
According to FT, this year’s edition carries added weight as Africa navigates inflationary pressures, digital disruption, and climate adaptation simultaneously.
Conversations will center on deepening trade relations, accelerating the energy transition, leveraging technological innovation, and driving industrial growth through initiatives such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Additionally, policymakers, investors, and business leaders will assess how the continent is reshaping its international partnerships, balancing fossil fuel development with renewable energy investment, and scaling fintech and digital infrastructure to tap into its young, entrepreneurial population.
Key discussions are also expected to frame Africa’s evolving role in global governance and its efforts to assert greater influence on international decision-making.
This years’ summit whose theme is “Africa in a Changing World,” targets to position Africa as a key player in global economy amid shifts in global alliances, constrained capital markets, and rapid technological transformation.
