As Africa strives for a new era of growth and development, the New Africa Leaders’ Summit and Honors is poised to take the continent on a transformative journey of rebranding and rebuilding.
The summit, scheduled for 19th to 20th July 2023 in Ghana, aims to provide a platform for African CEOs, investors, bankers, policymakers, industry experts, educators, and innovators to shape the African narrative and showcase the continent’s successes and solutions.
Under the theme “Empowering Africa: Building the African Way,” the summit seeks to change the prevailing Western narrative about Africa and highlight the continent’s unique strengths and potential. Driven by a desire to correct the misconceptions and stereotypes that have long defined Africa’s image, the event promises to empower Africans to tell their own stories, ensuring accuracy and authenticity.
Speaking ahead of the summit, Dr. Eno Praise, one of the organizers expressed the belief in Africa’s ability to reshape its future. He emphasized that the time had come to break free from the narrative imposed by others and instead embrace the African way of telling their stories, showcasing successes, failures, and the innovative solutions that emerge from within the continent.
With representation from various industries and regions across Africa, the New Africa Leaders’ Summit and Honors aims to be a melting pot of ideas, knowledge, and experiences. CEOs, investors, and bankers will come together to discuss strategies for economic growth and development, while policymakers will engage in dialogues on governance and policy reforms to foster an enabling environment for progress.
Industry experts and innovators are expected to present groundbreaking solutions to some of the continent’s most pressing challenges, from healthcare to education, infrastructure to technology. The summit will serve as a platform for collaboration and networking, nurturing partnerships that can drive Africa’s transformation.
The location of the summit in Ghana carries significant symbolism, as the country has long been an emblem of African resilience and progress. Participants will draw inspiration from the nation’s own journey and use it as a catalyst for further growth across the continent.
Additionally, the summit will introduce the concept of “The African Way” in business and development, focusing on empowering communities, embracing culture, and leveraging homegrown solutions. This approach aims to create a sense of ownership and responsibility, encouraging Africans to take the lead in shaping their destinies.
As the date of the summit draws closer, anticipation is growing, and preparations are in full swing. The New Africa Leaders’ Summit and Honors promises to be a landmark event, igniting a flame of hope and optimism for Africa’s future. With a renewed determination to challenge existing stereotypes, the summit aims to rewrite the narrative and position Africa as a model for the world.
In a continent rich in diversity and untapped potential, the summit will provide a platform for African voices to be heard, demonstrating that Africa is more than a sum of its problems; it is a powerhouse of innovation, creativity, and resilience. As attendees converge in Ghana, they do so with the shared vision of a prosperous and united Africa that will rise above all challenges and take its rightful place on the global stage.
