Cape Town Hosts Landmark Global Business 20 Summit

As South Africa takes on the role of G20 host this year, Cape Town and the Western Cape are gearing up to welcome top business leaders for the Business 20 B20 Summit , the official G20 dialogue platform for the global business community.

The two-day event, running from Monday to Tuesday, marks the first time the B20 will be held on African soil.

Since its inception in 2010, the B20 has become one of the most influential business forums linked to the G20, providing a platform for corporate leaders to shape global economic policy discussions. Each year, it brings together top executives and business organisations to address pressing economic, trade, and development challenges, ensuring that the private sector has a voice in international decision-making.

IOL reports that the key topics at this year's summit include trade and investment, infrastructure, education, and climate change, under the theme 'Inclusive Growth and Prosperity through Global Cooperation.'

The event will feature keynote speeches from World Economic Forum President Brge Brende, International Finance Corporation Vice President Susan M Lund and Econet Group's Founder and Executive Chairman Strive Masiyiwa.
