Africa Business Convention (ABC)
A community of Africa’s most consequential organisations, companies, institutions and bodies whose representatives are convened annually, connected year-round, and positioned at the centre of the continent’s most important commercial conversations.
ABC provides rigorous analysis, policy deep-dives, and strategic foresight for the continent’s decision-makers.
The Why of ABC
Our mission is clear: to champion the right policies, empower private enterprise, and create a future where Africa is not only growing, but truly prosperous.
The Africa Business Convention (ABC) exists to accelerate Africa’s economic transformation by uniting policymakers, business leaders, and partners to champion enterprise, investment, and inclusive growth.
Since its establishment in 2021, ABC has developed a long-term framework anchored on seven core sectors that shape dialogue, build communities, and inspire action.
Through sectoral communities, ABC serves as a catalyst for policy reform, business collaboration, and investment commitments that drive real change.
