President to headline 9th CEO Africa Annual Roundtable
PRESIDENT Mnangagwa is expected to headline the 9th CEO Africa Annual Roundtable in Victoria Falls in October with organisers saying the continent remains attractive to investors with investments reaching a record US$83 billion in 2021.
The event is being hosted by the CEO Africa Roundtable, a high-level platform for corporate chief executive officers and senior executives, in both the private and public sector.
The platform was created to engender cross-fertilisation of critical economic and business knowledge in and around Africa.

The 2023 annual roundtable scheduled for the 11th to 14th will run under the theme: “Delivering the Vision: Prospering through Smart Partnerships”.
In a concept note, CEO Africa Roundtable said Africa remains attractive to investors, despite occasionally complex local and geopolitical situations.
“Investments happening in Africa over the past few decades have raised billions of dollars, hitting a record US$83 billion in 2021. There are diverse investment opportunities across the globe, from Cairo to Capetown,” said the organisation.

The 9th edition of CEO Africa Roundtable has evolved from a purely annual event to a permanent platform through which African decision-makers can connect with each other continuously, as well as with international investors and institutions operating on the continent,” reads a concept note.
