They share the same values and vision of an innovative and inclusive Africa, where the business world is intimately linked to social impact. They aspire to become decision-makers at the highest levels of private and public organisations, with humility, empathy, and resilience. Their strength of conviction, combined with a taste for teamwork, makes them the next great leaders of the Pan-African landscape.
