Nelson Mandela

The Africa CEO Impact & Sustainability Meeting 2025
15th – 18th July, 2025. Johannesburg, South Africa

The 67CEOS Foundation will host its 9th edition of International Mandela Day in July, 2025. The Africa CEO Impact & Sustainability Meeting is the theme of this year’s high-impact event. In order to address the most important socioeconomic and environmental issues facing the continent, 67 of Africa’s leading executives, CEOs, government representatives, innovators, entrepreneurs, and changemakers will come together for this historic event. In line with Africa’s Agenda 2063 goals and South Africa’s role as host of the G20 Summit in 2025, this groundbreaking series, which ran nonstop for 67 hours from 15 to 18 July, celebrates servant leadership, sustainability, and Africa’s potential as a global powerhouse.

Through TED-style presentations, immersive cultural experiences, and direct community impact, the event not only amplifies the voices of Africa’s most influential leaders but also drives tangible outcomes for communities, businesses, and stakeholders.

The Africa CEO Impact & Sustainability Series 2025 is a call to action for African leaders and businesses to rise to the challenges and opportunities of our time. This event is more than a gathering; it is a movement to ensure that in Africa, every day is a Mandela Day, championing servant leadership, innovation, and a sustainable future for Africa.
