Set for September 26 at the World Trade Centre, this invite-only event aims to spark collaboration around innovation, sustainability, and youth-driven growth across the continent.

Hosted by Black House Media (BHM) and Allison Worldwide in partnership with The King’s Trust, the event is themed: “African Innovation: Building Together for Sustainable Development.”

It will feature panel discussions, keynotes, and networking sessions that dive deep into Africa’s role in global transformation, especially in business, technology, creative industries, and diaspora engagement.

“Africa’s innovation story is no longer emerging; it’s here,” said Claudine Moore, Managing Director, Africa, at Allison.

“This gathering at UNGA 80 is about moving from conversation to collaboration, ensuring that Africa’s youthful energy, creativity, and expertise are matched with partnerships and resources.”

Ayeni Adekunle, founder of BHM, emphasized the event’s mission to catalyze tangible outcomes.

“The Africa Breakfast Conversations harness dialogue to drive investment and impact, connecting Africa with the global economy in meaningful ways,” he said.

This year’s event will also highlight youth empowerment, skills development, and leadership opportunities, showcasing African-led solutions at the heart of global discourse.

Africa’s innovation potential—rooted in its youthful population, diaspora connections, and creative industries—continues to attract global attention.

The Africa Breakfast Conversations provide a prestigious platform for decision-makers and change-makers to align on solutions for a more inclusive and sustainable future.

The collaboration between BHM and Allison reinforces the power of African communications leadership in shaping global narratives.
