FT Africa Summit 2016
The Financial Times will hold its third Africa summit this October after cementing the event's reputation as the leading conference in the world on African business and economics. The FT, which prides itself on the depth and breadth of its Africa coverage, will again produce a special report to coincide with the summit. Last year's event, chaired by FT Editor Lionel Barber, built on the success of the inaugural conference with a sell-out delegation and expert speakers and panellists from around the region.
This summit will look at the way ahead: whether by designing smart industrial policies, providing power for industry and residents, or creating a business-friendly environment, how can African economies turn the new, seemingly less benign environment, to their advantage? The FT will gather practitioners and opinion leaders from around the world to discuss these important topics.
