About Us
The Uongozi Conference is a Pan-African business and leadership forum created for senior executives, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and innovators. It provides a space for leaders across sectors and regions to engage in honest, practical conversations about navigating Africa’s often complex and unpredictable business landscape.
Born out of the need for cross-border dialogue that goes beyond speeches and formalities, the conference focuses on real issues leaders face: economic volatility, trade barriers, political risk, market access, and the shifting dynamics of global influence.
All Uongozi serves as a platform for business owners, CEOs, government leaders, investors, and development partners who are making daily decisions in tough environments, whether running companies, shaping policies, or leading innovations.
The goal is simple: provide a meeting point for African leaders to exchange experiences, challenge outdated models, discuss emerging risks, and explore partnerships that have real potential At Uongozi, participants are encouraged to speak candidly about the pressures of leadership, the decisions that worked (or didn’t), and the opportunities that can be unlocked when collaboration replaces competition.
The 2025 Uongozi Conference will take place on November 20 in South Africa, just ahead of the G20 Summit. With global leaders gathering on the continent, this is a strategic moment for Africa’s business and policy leaders to come together, align priorities, and amplify Africa’s leadership voice in the global economic conversation..
