About the summit
Background of the Next Generation Summit
The Next Generation Summit was established as an annual, high-impact convergence designed to intentionally bridge the gap between seasoned, faith-driven leaders and the next generation of Christian professionals and entrepreneurs across Africa. From its inception, the Summit has served as a strategic platform where senior business and career leaders from diverse industries engage directly with emerging leaders, providing clarity, mentorship, and practical frameworks for influence in the marketplace.
Over the years, the Summit has convened hundreds of young Christian professionals and entrepreneurs drawn from both the public and private sectors. These participants represent a wide spectrum of industries, reflecting the Summit’s commitment to shaping leaders who are not only spiritually grounded but also professionally competent and economically relevant.
