Founded in 2012, the AFRICA CEO FORUM has evolved from a purely annual event to a permanent platform through which African decision-makers can connect with each other continuously, as well as with international investors and institutions operating on the continent. The AFRICA CEO FORUM provides year-round support to Africa’s business leaders through an array of in-person and digital events, reports, and expert insights. As an organisation dedicated to facilitating business in Africa through the exchange of ideas and experiences, the AFRICA CEO FORUM is committed to offering concrete and innovative solutions to help the continent and its companies move forward. Through its ‘Women Working For Change‘, ‘Family Business‘ and ‘Disrupters Club’ initiatives, it also aims to increase the representation of women in decision-making positions on the continent, support the sustainable growth of African family businesses and help African start-ups thrive. Every year, The AFRICA CEO FORUM Annual Summit gathers 1,800 participants from over 70 countries, including 40 African states. Our 2022 edition saw over 800 CEOs, four Heads of State, 100 Ministers, 100 leaders of development finance institutions, and more than 200 journalists from Africa and overseas participate. The AFRICA CEO FORUM was founded by Jeune Afrique Media Group. It is now permanently co-hosted by the International Finance Corporation (IFC, World Bank Group).
