The Africa CEO Forum is an international conference dedicated to top African companies, and breaks the mould of typical sector-focused events and run-of-the-mill academic forums.
Taking place in 20-21 November 2012 in Geneva, the conference will bring together entrepreneurs, investors, financial decision-makers, and policy-makers to promote the success of the African private sector, providing a platform for public-private dialogue and high-level strategic solutions to support the development of companies and their African markets.
For the AfDB, co-organiser of the event, the Africa CEO Forum fits into the AfDB's mission, which is to foster an environment conducive to business and private sector development for the transformation and a more inclusive growth of the African economy.
"It will showcase the initiatives and the success stories of African entrepreneurship, allow entrepreneurs to share their experiences, and promote regional and intra-African trade," says Turner.
"As an annual gathering of Francophone and Anglophone Africa's most brilliant CEO's and major African and international decision makers, the ACF will be a unique platform dedicated to supporting private sector-led growth in Africa. In an increasingly connected world economy, it will also promote the rise of leading African companies", concluded Yahmed.
