Al-Khalifa Business School (AKBS) is proud to announce its continued support for the 9th Pan African Humanitarian and Investment Summit (PAHIS), which will take place in Maryland, USA, in September 2024. Since 2019, AKBS has played a key role in advancing discussions on Africa’s economic growth and sustainable development, demonstrating its unwavering commitment to creating impactful global partnerships that drive progress across the continent.
The theme for this year’s summit, “Global Partnerships for African Progress: Fostering Collaboration Across Continents,” resonates deeply with the core values of AKBS. We believe that partnerships between African nations and global investors are crucial in transforming Africa’s future, and this summit provides the ideal platform to explore these opportunities.
At the heart of the event is a highly anticipated panel discussion:
“The Future of Work: How Global Partnerships Can Shape Africa’s Workforce.” This panel will feature international leaders and experts discussing how partnerships can boost job creation, enhance skills, and strengthen Africa’s digital economy. The conversation is expected to inspire new collaborations that can unlock Africa’s immense potential and create a future that thrives on innovation, technology, and inclusivity.
Why Africa? Why Now?
Africa is at a pivotal moment in its economic history. As the continent with the youngest population globally and a rapidly expanding digital economy, Africa presents vast opportunities for investors. Strategic global partnerships can provide the framework for developing a robust workforce equipped with the skills needed to drive industrial and technological revolutions across various sectors.
From infrastructure to agriculture, fintech to education, Africa’s emerging markets offer untapped potential for both local and international investors. By investing in Africa today, businesses can help catalyze significant economic growth, benefiting not only the continent but also creating global economic ripple effects.
Al-Khalifa Business School’s Commitment to Africa
As a global leader in education and innovation, AKBS is dedicated to fostering these partnerships and helping bridge the gap between investors and Africa’s burgeoning markets. Since 2019, we have supported initiatives like PAHIS to drive impactful change and ensure that Africa’s workforce is prepared for the future.
