The conference seeks to explore the transition of our continent and its diaspora into a new age of reconstruction. The topics will focus on highlighting strides that are being made within this new age, exemplified by the launch of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
We will have 4 panels and a keynote speaker during our virtual Zoom event, which will cover various topics in relations to the green economy, creative industry, start-ups, and healthcare.
