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, borned from a collaboration between Africans from the continent and the diaspora.

• This forum 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.

Our Objectives

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.
