ABOUT YOUNG CEO AFRICA ROUNDTABLE

Young CEO Round Table Africa is a special platform which aims at bringing together the youth upcoming in business and running companies with the giants of business, corporate industry and public institutions such as CEO’s, Managing Directors, Managers, Marketing personalities, and other important icons who have shown exemplary skills and qualities which have led to the rising top of their companies and organizations at large. This event aims at impacting the upcoming CEOs with skills and experience shared from the successful heads which in return we believe it may have a big outcome to the growth and championing of their dreams.

Young CEO Africa aims at bridging the gap between the public sector and private sector in a context of supporting youths startups and providing necessary supports in terms of skills, resources, finances and proper mentorship to maintain the quality and values of their services and products in the market.

Young CEO Africa should not only be a platform for discussion, rather it should be a reference point for policy analysis, advocacy and one of the trusted platforms for advising the governments and other related stake holders on issues concerning youths’ challenges and the solutions to these challenges.

Young CEO RoundTable Africa should look for opportunities beyond the Boarders of Countries of the operations, these opportunities must be put aware to the youths and the governments of various Countries, making awareness of the opportunities and markets for various products will enhance proper follow up from the youths and government and enable the flow of business.

Young CEO Roundtable Africa should focus on erasing the negative thoughts concerning employment which currently collapses the mindsets of many youths rather it should focus on training the youths on how they can effectively compete in a stiff employment market, how to be employable, the character and qualities and other related principles. Young CEO Roundtable should be a solution-oriented platform rather than a motivating platform.
