African Economic Congress

We are pleased to invite you to attend the African Economic Congress. This invitation-only event is a gathering of hundreds of “thoughtful, individualistic achievers” from around Africa who share a common interest in practical solutions for sustainable development through effective Industries. We will focus exclusively on one of the most important development challenges of our time: how do we create partnerships and institutions that work for Africa? Our vision is ambitious, which is nothing less than to reshape the entire way we think about economic development and growth in Africa. The event will take place in the heart of Abuja, Nigeria on November 11-13. As the fastest-growing large economy in the world, Africa has demonstrated remarkable strength and resilience amid a global slowdown. The region’s role is critical to the sustainability of global economic growth. The Africa Economic Congress will be the first major event in Abuja, Nigeria produced in collaboration with the world’s leading development institutions. Our partners include the Central Bank of Nigeria, the ADfB, the African Union, the African Independent Television, and many other organizations. We expect several hundred people from emerging markets to participate, including Technology Pioneers, Heads of government and international organizations, entrepreneurs, scientists, inventors, and Media Leaders. Additionally, the event will feature leading companies, venture capital firms, academic institutions, NGOs, and startups from Africa and Asia. You can read more at http://www.aecongress.org
