From Ideas to Impact: Advancing Africa Together
THE ADVANCE AFRICA CONFERENCE
The Advance Africa Conference is a strategic endeavour to address a pressing question faced by African professionals in the diaspora: “How can I contribute to the advancement of Africa?”
We have observed that while many African professionals are seizing global opportunities such as scholarships, talent programs, and jobs, and excelling in their respective fields, there remains a deep yearning to leverage their expertise for the betterment of the continent.
Sadly, access to a seamless infrastructure that enables meaningful contributions to the African economic value chains from the diaspora is severely lacking.
Our mission for this conference is clear: we aim to forge fruitful connections between African talents, business leaders, and change-makers, fostering opportunities across the UK and Africa, and we aspire to reignite the passion for accelerating the continent’s development, regardless of geography.
