The LBS Africa Business Club will host the 24th Africa Business Summit, supported by the Wheeler Institute, taking place on London Business School’s campus on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026.
This year’s summit theme, “From Potential to Progress: Building Africa’s next Growth Chapter”, focuses 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 will lead the conversation, as well as dedicated panels hearing from local and aspiring entrepreneurs.
The Summit will bring 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. Join us to add your voice to the engaging conversations and to network and connect with fellow visionaries.
