The World Economic Forum WEF on Africa is set to resume after a 7-year hiatus in April 2027, WEF and SA government officials confirmed at the main annual meeting in Davos this week. And the event will return to South African shores.
WEF Africa was last held in September 2019 in Cape Town. It has been paused since the Covid pandemic fallout in 2020, which saw major conferences being cancelled, postponed or paused for a few years.
CNBC Africa first broke news of the return of WEF Africa on Tuesday, with the WEFs Africa Head, Chido Munyati, confirming that the summit will resume in 2027.
