The Voice of The Private Sector

As Africa takes its permanent seat at the G20 and plays a bigger part in BRICS, the continent is ready to assume an even more critical role in the world. It is blessed with vast natural resources such as the metals and minerals for the global energy transition, more than half of the world’s arable land, and a young and dynamic population of future workers, creators and consumers. 

With the right investment, partnerships and opportunities, the continent’s private sector can and will make a difference to a world urgently in need of answers. Unstoppable Africa will mobilise Africa’s most dynamic current and future change makers on a powerful collaborative platform of solutions, commitments and actions.
