The LBS Africa Business Club hosted the 24th Africa Business Summit, supported by the Wheeler Institute, on London Business School’s campus.
This year’s summit theme, “From Potential to Progress: Building Africa’s next Growth Chapter”, focused on business-led, homegrown models that address the continent’s pertinent development challenges and the opportunities that arise alongside. Key topics such as Philanthropy and Aid landscape, Africa’s VC ecosystem, Minerals and Oil & Gas, and Entertainment and the Creative industries lead the conversation, as well as dedicated panels hearing from local and aspiring entrepreneurs.
The Summit brought together business leaders, founders, investors, and leading policymakers to engage and collaborate on actionable strategies that ensure Africa’s future growth is not only sustainable, but designed to meet the unique needs of Africa’s context and its people.
