Shaping Africa’s Economic Future

Africa is on the brink of a historic transformation. With 1.3 billion people today and projected toreach 2.4 billion by 2050, the continent will soon represent one-quarter of the world’spopulation. This demographic shift is not just a statistic—it is an economic opportunity thatmust be seized.

A continent’s true power lies not only in its numbers but in its ability to unite, build strategicalliances, and create a dynamic economic ecosystem. By 2050, Africa must position itself asa global economic superpower alongside the U.S., China, and the European Union.
This is thefoundation of Africa Business Club

Founded in 2024 in Dubai by Dr. Hossein Shekarchi, an academic at a leading universityand a serial entrepreneur who has dedicated most of his career to Africa, the Club wascreated with the support of engaged African entrepreneurs and business leaders. It was built onthe belief that empowering Africa starts by empowering African entrepreneurs—givingthem the resources, networks, and opportunities to thrive.

Dubai was chosen as the Club’s strategic headquarters because it is a global hub thatbridges Africa to international markets, facilitating high-impact partnerships and unlockingaccess to financial ecosystems that amplify business opportunities.
