WHY TECHNICAL LEADERS. WHY NOW.

Africa is home to some of the world's fastest-growing economies, and its business landscape is changing rapidly. As AfCFTA opens trade beyond national borders, the institutions driving this growth - hospitals, firms, agribusinesses, energy and technology ventures, are increasingly led by their most capable technical experts.

Yet the binding constraint is rarely technical skill. It is the strategic, financial and managerial capability to lead institutions and scale them across markets, while keeping an eye on the pulse of global business through the lens of the world's fastest-growing economy - China. This programme builds exactly that, in exactly the professionals Africa is counting on.
