Sustainable Development is a pillar upon which Peace and stability can be built and Investment is the cornerstone of ALL Development. International business and Direct Investment helps developing countries to confront the international competition by boosting their economy, increasing productivity and expert capacity. Investments also help to build a better bilateral trade & Investment platform and relationships. Multinational companies and economic integration have been effective in the world economy by creating businesses, jobs and competition between countries.
Youth and women in leadership positions across political and socio-economic platforms have proven that they will possess the undeniable ability to effectively impact and steer the Continent to the zenith of equality, equity and development. As the footprints to their successes continue to be documented, the impact is undeniable. It is from this invaluable role that we draw inspiration to organize this event to serve as a veritable platform bringing together a diverse mix of successful global leaders for discussion of topics relevant to issues that will educate, inspire and encourage youth and women to reflect on individual goals and status as they strive to advance within their various horizons.
