In 2024, African Business Stories (ABS) launched its high-level Roundtable Series on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly to spotlight the $42 billion financing gap faced by female entrepreneurs in Africa. Since then, the series has evolved into a powerful platform for action, mobilizing capital, influencing policy, and connecting female founders with strategic partners across the continent and the diaspora.Over the past year, ABS has convened government leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs across the global calendar, from the diaspora-focused investment roundtable during the World Bank Meetings in Washington, D.C., to high-level conversations on the sidelines of the U.S.-Africa Business Summit in Angola. These gatherings have spotlighted innovative funding mechanisms, showcased women-led success stories, and facilitated dialogue among financiers, policymakers, and founders.One year later, we return to New York to celebrate this momentum and to deepen our collective commitment to closing the financing gap. This year’s convening will focus on what’s working: innovative financing mechanisms, public-private partnerships, and national strategies that are beginning to shift capital toward women-led businesses at scale.
