BHM, in partnership with Allison, a global integrated marketing and communications agency, is set to host the 2026 edition of Africa Breakfast Conversations on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA81) in New York City. The high-level, invite-only breakfast gathering will bring together senior business leaders, investors, policymakers, technology leaders and other influential voices from Africa and beyond for conversations on the continent’s next chapter.
Under the theme ‘Africa’s Next Chapter Catalysing Sustainable, Growth and Global Influence in Trade and Investment,’ the event will explore the forces shaping Africa’s economic transformation and its growing role in the global economy.
Key areas of discussion will include:
- Trade and US-Africa economic relations
- Investment and access to capital
- Technology, AI and digital infrastructure
- Infrastructure and energy
- Scaling African businesses globally
- Africa’s evolving investment and risk narrative
- Global influence, leadership and the commercial value of Africa’s growing visibility
Africa Breakfast Conversations will feature high-level panel discussions and a fireside conversation bringing together prominent African and global leaders. The conversations will examine where Africa’s next decade of growth will come from, how the capital required to finance that growth can be mobilised, and how the continent can translate its growing global influence into economic and commercial value.
The event will also provide an opportunity for senior decision-makers to connect, exchange perspectives and explore opportunities for collaboration, investment and business growth across African markets.
Ayẹni Adékúnlé, CEO, BHM Holdings, said “Africa’s next chapter will be shaped not only by the opportunities available on the continent, but by our ability to convert those opportunities into sustainable growth, investment and global influence. Africa Breakfast Conversations brings together the people shaping that future to examine what it will take to move from potential to tangible economic value and shared prosperity.”
The 2026 Africa Breakfast Conversations will seek to catalyse sustainable growth and social impact by connecting ideas, capital and influential decision-makers around Africa’s next chapter.
