Overview and Theme

Rwanda is proud to host Africa’s largest annual private sector event, the 11th Africa CEO Forum. The annual summit brings together over 2,000 business leaders, investors and policy makers from Africa and around the world to highlight the driving role of the private sector in the development of the continent. 

The theme of this year’s forum is focused on charting a new future for Africa where the private sector will be empowered to capitalise on the continent’s diverse comparative advantages; from consumer markets buoyed by strong demographic growth to leveraging its natural resources to become a pillar of the global energy transition, or even to feeding the growing appetite for African entertainment, whether in movies, music or sports.

Dates and Venue

The 2024 Africa CEO Forum will take place from 16-17 May in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda.
