The Foremost Summit for Young Enterprise Leaders in Africa’s Private Sector 

Young CEO’s business forum YCBF is a business network platform with over one thousand members in the following sectors: ICT, Agriculture, Hospitality, Construction & Real Estate, Education, Aviation, Fashion & Design, Media, Manufacturing, E-commerce, Oil & Gas, Law, Social Enterprise, Music & Film Production, spread across the African continent, Europe, & USA. We are also the organizers of the young CEO’S business summit designed for Established and pioneering CEOs who aspire to conduct their businesses in tandem with global best practices. These CEO’s focus more on creating value for all of their stakeholders and then fulfil the deeper purpose of their organization which is giving back to society and making it better than they met it. They consciously integrate and cultivate cultures that support people to learn, grow, develop and flourish. With collaborations from young CEOs across Africa, specifically from Cameroun, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Gambia, Mali, Malawi, Botswana, Uganda, Cape Verde, Ethiopia and that of our counterpart from Asia, USA, Europe and North America, we are set to explore international idea exchange, collaborations and synergies that will guarantee business excellence for our continent and the rest of the world.
