Unstoppable Africa: The Solution for a Global Future
In September 2024, Unstoppable Africa engages the world in the conversations that truly matter. From advancing energy access and the energy transition, to boosting business and trade, to harnessing the power of Africa’s young digital pioneers and dynamic creatives in music, film and sport, Unstoppable Africa convenes a powerful lineup of leaders, thinkers and doers from Africa and the rest of the world to share actionable solutions for the future of our planet and our people … powering an Unstoppable Africa.
This year Unstoppable Africa takes place on the margins of the Summit of the Future, a special convening of the UN General Assembly billed as once-in-a-generation opportunity to unite a world buffeted by a wave of shocks – including the climate crisis, conflicts, challenges to democracy, and the sky-high cost of living and the cost of capital.
In this spirit of enhanced cooperation on critical challenges, business leaders from across the African continent and beyond will come together under the theme: Unstoppable Africa: The Solution for a Global Future, in the firm belief that Africa holds the key to many of the world’s biggest challenges.
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.
