As the sun rises over Gaborone this October, a new chapter in African leadership and innovation begins. The Elevate Africa Annual Summit 2025, taking place at the iconic Royal Aria on October 30–31, promises to be more than a gathering, it’s a declaration of intent. Africa is ready to lead, and Botswana is the stage.
Africa, The Next Chapter
Under the theme “Africa, The Next Chapter,” the summit will convene a dynamic mix of changemakers, creatives, youth leaders, policymakers, and governance experts. From grassroots innovation to high-level strategy, the event will spotlight the continent’s most promising pathways to progress.
Keynote Spotlight: Wei Neng Wu
The summit opens with a keynote by Wei Neng Wu, CEO of the Chandler Institute of Governance (CIG). His address, “High-Performance Governments,” will explore what it truly takes to build capable states and institutions that deliver real results. Under his leadership, CIG has become a global benchmark for governance excellence, and Botswana’s top-three ranking in the Chandler Good Government Index is a testament to its institutional strength.
Why Botswana?
Botswana’s consistent governance, discipline, and institutional integrity make it a fitting host. The summit will not only celebrate these achievements but also challenge other nations to rise to the occasion.
