According to the organizers ,Africa is better off united than otherwise. We have never before needed one another than we do today.

necessary solutions on issues affecting the world with ambitious African leadership.
The summit closes with a release of a white paper on coordinated actions that governments and
institutions should commit to and implement for the improvement of the economy of Africa,
strengthening the competitiveness of African companies, addressing security challenges among
others.
According to them ,History shows that value shifts are always triggered by a new story. The current state of the world has given a rare chance to Africa to rewrite the story of Africa. But to do that, governments of African nations need the boldness to review and challenge the current models which drive government and private sector actions in Africa.
Through the Africa Economic Summit we hope to facilitate new investments, encourage
business development, share best practices, guarantee peer-to-peer networking, offer new
industry insight, showcase excellence and promote thought leadership.
As our world passes through an extraordinary time of difficulties, our ability to stand up to the
challenges and deliver a safe and prosperous Africa to the next generation will largely depend
on the ability of all of us to keep our eyes on the same goal, on our willingness to lead in truth
holding forth the values tested and proven through history that can keep our society safe and
our people free to become all they can be.
