With a young, dynamic population and rapid urbanization, Africa is on track to become the world’s fastest-growing economy. In this panel, Caralene Robinson, CMO of Global Citizen, joins leaders in business and culture to unpack the economic and social trends fueling the continent’s rise. From innovation and entrepreneurship to the creative industries driving global influence, the discussion will explore how Africa’s growth story is reshaping markets worldwide—and why brands, investors, and changemakers can’t afford to overlook it.
