In today’s rapidly evolving world, new global leaderships are emerging, particularly in Asia. Africa, historically a follower in global affairs, must now assert its influence, particularly in major geopolitical decisions. The African continent must not simply adapt to external decisions but shape its future on its own terms. This movement, born from a collaboration between Africans from the continent and the diaspora, seeks to establish a long-term initiative that will reposition Africa as a leader in global decision-making, rather than as a passive participant.
This is the vision behind the BA25 Advanced Summit. By uniting the global Black diaspora, the summit aims to inspire fresh, actionable ideas for Africa’s development, driven by Africans themselves.
The BERMUDA-AFRICA ADVANCED SUMMIT (BA25)
The ADVANCED SUMMIT (BA25) is an innovative initiative aimed at uniting the global Black diaspora to collaboratively address Africa’s development challenges. This summit will be a dynamic platform for Africans from the continent and the diaspora to engage in profound discussions on economic, strategic, and geopolitical issues facing the continent.
This is not just another summit – BA25 aims to be a laboratory of global thought that will redefine Africa’s role in world decision-making bodies, ensuring that Africa’s vision and voice are central to the global agenda.
The objectives of the BA25 Advanced Summit are clear:
Bring together the global Black Diaspora to reflect on the development of Africa, led by Africans themselves.
Model Africa’s development trajectory by addressing the continent’s unique challenges and opportunities.
Rethink Africa’s development by focusing on its rich economic potential and creating sustainable growth.
Build bridges between Bermuda and Africa, leveraging Bermuda’s strategic location and expertise in key sectors.
Craft a new narrative for Africa, one free from the lingering effects of slavery and colonization, focusing on empowerment and prosperity.
Revitalize Africa’s economy by focusing on high-level research, innovation, new technologies, finance, and resource management.
