Africa Day 2006 - Overview:

On Saturday, 13 May 2006 , the Africa Club at London Business School hosted its 5th Africa Day conference on campus. The School's vision is to be the pre-eminent global business school, and this conference continues to support our vision by bringing together some of the best minds and practitioners in business to help inspire a socio-economic renaissance in Africa.

The theme of this year's conference - Africa 2020: A Vision for Empowering an Enterprising People. It centers on our belief that entrepreneurship and innovation must play a pivotal role in empowering Africans to take charge of their destiny. In particular, the conference explored the evolution of African society over the next fifteen years from an entrepreneurial perspective, leading to a vision for the year 2020.

Speakers and delegates engaged in a stimulating exposition of just what opportunities and hurdles Africa 's entrepreneurs and their backers will experience in marching towards that vision. It is our hope that the conference inspired a powerful cadre of change-agents from an impressive delegation of entrepreneurs, managers, investors, public policy-makers and students that attended.
