Global Africa Business Initiative (GABI), the platform for promoting business, trade, and investment across the African continent, will be holding its flagship event tagged: ‘Unstoppable Africa’ 2023 forum in New York, the United Nations (UN) from 21-22 September 2023. 

The two-day event, to be co-convened by the African Union on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, serves as a pivotal forum for Heads of State and Government, CEOs, investors, policymakers, industry experts, artists, athletes, and UN leaders to discuss and strategize the way forward for Africa’s dynamic business landscape. 

The landmark event takes place as Africa’s leaders work collectively to leverage the continent’s assets, including a young population and abundant natural resources while turning challenges like climate change, energy constraints, water scarcity, and food supply into opportunities. The initiative mirrors Africa’s aspiration to rise above challenges and embrace opportunities for positive transformation. 

GABI aims to catalyse Africa’s key role in the global marketplace. ‘Unstoppable Africa’ is a powerful affirmation of GABI’s commitment to redefining Africa’s economic narrative for Africa and the world. The convening will facilitate solution-driven dialogues, inclusive participation, and enriching conversations and debates, all geared towards accelerating and amplifying Africa to new heights of business growth and economic transformation.
