African Women and Beyond, AWAB.AWAB 2016 Summit is the first event of its scope and scale to be held in Africa ever.
Gathering 10.000 women engaged in businesses across Africa and beyond for three days to inspire, connect, learn from, and empower each other. We believe strongly that at the heart of transformation and growing businesses/economies lie not only the right tools, skills, and abilities but also the individual woman’s belief that
“Yes We Can!”

Our Why?“See everyone you encounter as having something positive to offer, to find out what that is, and to find out where your vision and theirs overlaps. That’s what true collaboration looks like” - Fred Swaniker, Co-Founder, African Leadership Network
AWAB is determined to support women in business by driving the collaboration and providing the platforms! African business opportunities and entrepreneurship can thrive on the wealth in human resources.
African women in business are key in driving development and growth to creating and sustaining strong economies in Africa – economies that flourish – economies of peace, health, and prosperity. AWAB creates platforms for the African Women and Beyond to make this happen.
“This [empowering women] can be a game-changer for the global economy. But to fulfil the promise words need to come to action” – Christine Lagarde, MD International Monetary Fund.
Although women across the African continent have made progress in improving economic opportunities, they are still struggling with a number of structural and cultural issues holding the potential back.
AWAB 2016 Summit takes active part in changing the narrative of women in business in Africa. By letting women showcase their products, create synergies with other businesses, connect with peers and mentors.
By gathering to learn new tools, gain new skills, discover new markets and show themselves, each other and the world, that it is possible to build, transform and grow a thriving business – also as an African woman!
AWAB creates opportunities for women in leadership and business to unleash their potential and grow their businesses and careers.
AWAB is about Action, driven by the Afri-Can-Do mentality!
