'Beyond the Hype: The Not-for-Tourists Guide to Investing in Africa'

Africa's profile as a compelling investment story has unfolded over the last decade, at the same time as the Africa Business Summit at London Business School has grown to establish itself as a leading forum for raising awareness and highlighting business opportunities on the African continent. There is a lot of optimism around the 'African growth story' and the opportunities it presents; clearly a healthy dose of realism is also needed, supported by the knowledge and experience necessary to properly assess these opportunities, so that these emerging economies can attract the right kind of investment, and in turn investors can realise competitive returns. With sold out audiences year after year, the Africa Business Summit, now in its 13th year, continues its tradition of bringing together a diverse and distinguished roster of keynote speakers and panellists (including presidents, senior entrepreneurs and C-Suite executives, investors and financiers, economists and thought leaders) to engage the audience in dynamic discourse around these issues. The conference provides the ultimate networking opportunity for students and professionals with a passion for business in Africa.
