Africa Day 2013

Speaker(s):

'Investing for Sustainable Success'

The theme of the 2013 Africa Day Conference is ‘Investing for Sustainable Success’. Following on from last year’s theme of ‘Taking Ownership’, we aim to explore what is being done in Africa to ensure that success is not only achieved but also sustained. Africa is fertile ground for innovation and its entrepreneurs and cultural agents are capitalising on this, building successful businesses that are fostering growth. Major infrastructure and energy projects are underway all across the continent, addressing deficiencies which have previously curtailed productivity. All of these investments are transforming Africa into a dynamic, competitive economic region. The conference brings together a distinguished roster of heads of government, entrepreneurs, financiers, innovators, cultural icons, and thought leaders to conduct an extensive dialogue on the requisites for sustainable success in Africa.

Speakers include:
Wale Tinubu, CEO Oando Plc; Alex Okosi, CEO MTV Africa

Panel discussions will focus on: Finance and Investing in Africa; Energy and Infrastructure; The Business of Culture: Entrepreneurship and Innovation
