In a world brimming with challenges, there is also immense opportunity. South Africa's presidency of the G20 is a moment to inspire hope and unity, showcasing the power of collaboration to drive meaningful and inclusive growth.
We are proud to take the helm of the B20, embracing this role as a call to action to deliver measurable outcomes and build on the momentum of the recent Global South presidencies. Our vision for the B20 is to be a catalyst for collaboration and innovation, first between the global business community and the world’s policymakers, and then between the Global South and the North. We’ll continue to fight for the rights of women and climate resilience and help guide the policies that will have an impact on the lives of nearly five billion people.
To every business leader across Africa and the globe, this is an open invitation to join us to deliver sustainable and transformative change.
