Africa Collective is an information, exchange and collaboration platform for Africa. Its network, events and publications are focused on advancing the African continent globally. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat is the patronage partner of the initiative. Africa Unlimited is the management partner of the initiative.

Africa Collective was formed during a high-level business roundtable on Africa in Davos, Switzerland, during the time of the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in January 2020. Based on the impactful discussions between pan-African & global leaders held on the occasion, the vision of Africa Collective as a key enabler for global engagement with the continent was established.

The platform is an all-year, pan-African initiative by and for private & public sector players on the continent. Besides its yearly flagship representation in Davos from 2020 to the upcoming 2025 agenda, the platform has consistently been present at proprietary & partner events in Africa and beyond, including the Africa CEO Forum, AfCFTA Business Forum “Biashara Afrika” & Intra-African Trade Fair. Africa Collective is continuously growing its network of partners which includes Standard Bank, Old Mutual, Novartis, Ringier amongst many others to exchange on key issues pertaining to the continent.
