This invite-only gathering will elevate Africa’s priorities at the highest levels of global decision-making through curated conversations on trade, digital payments and the role of Africa’s diaspora to move toward actionable pathways in 2026 for Africa’s role in a rapidly evolving global order.

Africa enters 2026 at a decisive inflection point: development-finance constraints are tightening, global trade and aid systems are being reshaped, and geopolitical competition is intensifying, even as rapid population growth and governance challenges persist. Yet Africa is also the world’s youngest and fastest-growing economic region, home to six of the ten fastest-growing economies and the next generation of global consumers, builders, and innovators. Despite this momentum, the continent still accounts for less than 3% of global trade and under 1% of investment in emerging technologies such as AI and distributed ledger infrastructure—highlighting the urgency of inclusion in the next phase of global economic decision-making. With its scale, demographics, digital adoption, critical minerals, creative industries, and accelerating continental integration, Africa is not just a growth story, but a central force shaping global growth, resilience, and stability in the decade ahead.
