The sixth annual Africa Shared Value Leadership (ASVL) Summit is set to kick off on October 25 at the Kigali Convention Center. The summit which will run until October 26 provides a platform for business leaders from across Africa to collaborate and discuss how shared value thinking can drive technological and business solutions to address Africa’s technology challenge. It will be hosted by the Shared Value Africa Initiative and Shift Impact Africa and bring together forward-thinking African business leaders, as well as political and non-governmental stakeholders, to inspire African solutions for Africa’s challenges. The summit’s unifying theme ‘One Africa, One Voice’ underscores the need for organisations to work together across borders and industries for the benefit of all. It is planned that business and other leaders who will attend ASVL 2022 will delve into questions such as the role of technology to address climate risks in a just way; how business can accelerate digital inclusion in Africa, particularly for disproportionately affected groups such as rural populations and women; how we ensure that digital connectivity and shared value become the drivers of Africa’s growth, as well as the role of shared value thinking and digital innovation to boost intra-Africa Trade. It will run simultaneously alongside Mobile World Congress Africa (MWCA).
