The 10th edition of the CEO Africa Annual Roundtable will be held at the Elephant Hills Resort in Victoria Falls from 12 to 15 June 2024.
This year’s prestigious event will be held under the theme, “The Future of Africa: Modernize, Reshape, and Grow.”
Delegates from across Africa are expected to attend, with President Emmerson Mnangagwa officiating the event.
The CEO Africa Annual Roundtable is a high-level platform for Chief Executive Officers (CEO) and senior executives from both the public and private sectors. It continues to stimulate a cross-fertilization of critical economic and business knowledge across Africa.
The CEO Africa Annual Roundtable offers its members and business leaders space for in-person and digital events, expert insights, and valuable connections. The event also facilitates deal structuring and provides room for the exchange of ideas and experiences.
The future of Africa is promising, but it requires concerted efforts from governments, private sectors, civil society, and international partners. Inclusivity for a common goal aligns well with the Second Republic’s commitment to leaving no one and no place behind in its economic revival trajectory.
The event has evolved from a purely annual event to a permanent platform, providing opportunities for African decision-makers to connect continuously with each other and with international investors and institutions operating on the continent.
This resonates with President Mnangagwa’s “Zimbabwe is open for business” mantra. President Emmerson Mnangagwa has frequently decried foreign domination and issued a clarion call for Africans to lead in the reform process and think independently. Zimbabwean business stakeholders should take this event seriously as it aligns well with the Second Republic’s economic transformation agenda.
Calls have been made for a transformed Africa, anchored on the utilization of its diverse resources and harnessing the emerging green digital economy. Africa’s potential lies in economic diversification, technology and innovation, human capital development, regional integration, governance and institutions, social inclusion, and sustainable development.
This year’s event presents an opportunity for local business persons to network with CEOs and top executives from across the continent. The 10th edition of the event offers extensive opportunities for connections and effective deal structuring, new business opportunities in an environment conducive to transactions, new financial and business partners, placement of business at the center of African and global opportunities, exploration of new and emerging trends and mechanisms for business sustainability, and opportunities for the development of Africa through smart partnerships.
Despite persistent geopolitical dynamics and economic headwinds, Africa has tremendous potential to modernize, reshape, and grow.
Its wealth of natural resources, exposure to the emerging digital economy, youth population, and increasing regional integration efforts position Africa to become a global economic powerhouse and innovation hub.
