Now in its 10th year, the Cambridge Africa Business Conference (CABC) returns with a
bold vision for the continent’s future. Organized by the Cambridge Africa Business

Africa and the diaspora—business leaders, policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs,
creatives, and academics—for a day of transformative dialogue and connection.
Under the theme “Africa Tomorrow: Driving Innovation, Growth, and Global Influence,”
CABC 2025 will explore how Africa can accelerate development through innovation,
strategic investments, and cultural leadership. Attendees will engage in four dynamic
panel sessions focused on unlocking capital, powering strategic industries, leveraging
technology for inclusive growth, and positioning Africa's creative economy on the global
stage.

Jimoh Ibrahim, among others. The conference will also celebrate African excellence
beyond the boardroom—with authentic cuisine, fashion showcases, and artistic
interludes enriching the experience.

reshaping Africa’s narrative. Whether you’re a visionary entrepreneur, impact investor,
