French President Emmanuel Macron will on Wednesday engage with over 2,000 Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF) alumni, together with other significant members of the African entrepreneurial ecosystem, in an open forum, that will guarantee a free and frank exchange of ideas and opinions.
The Forum will allow the President to hear the voices and ambitions of a new generation of African businesswomen and men, who are changing the narrative and historical perceptions of Africa, brought together by the Tony Elumelu Foundation’s unique network.
It will be hosted and moderated by TEF Founder and Heirs Holdings and UBA Chairman Tony Elumelu and gives African entrepreneurs the platform to closely engage with President Macron, learn from his experience as one of the youngest Heads of State and someone who strongly champions entrepreneurship, while networking and forging partnerships with French and African business leaders and policymakers in attendance.
The Tony Elumelu Foundation is Africa’s largest and most impactful African-funded, Africa founded philanthropy, working to empower African entrepreneurs. Its unique position allowed the French President to engage directly with the next generation of young business leaders and share his vision for relations between France and the African continent.
