The Africa CEO Forum is one of the continent’s leading annual business conferences, bringing together African heads of state, chief executives, investors, policymakers, and international business leaders to discuss economic growth, investment, innovation, and private sector development in Africa. Founded in 2012, the forum has become a major platform for shaping discussions around African trade, entrepreneurship, infrastructure, and regional economic integration.
Tanzanian businessman Edha Nahdi has urged African companies to stop relying on foreign donors and begin directly financing the continent’s development, warning that Africa risks slowing its own progress if local businesses fail to act.
