Alibaba Group, Dalberg, A. T. Kearney, Export Trading Group, U.S. African Development Foundation, and the Zenith Bank have come together to form a World Economic Forum initiative. They are leveraging this initiative to launch the Africa Growth Platform.

Africa Growth Platform aims to create an enabling environment for Africa-based startups to grow and compete in international markets. The platform is to achieve this by securing commitments from governments to implement policy reforms that will boost business growth, build a community of investors, and create a sustainable community of start-up businesses that will promote collaboration. 

The Africa Growth Platform will be the key focus of the World Economic Forum on Africa 2019. The program which is scheduled for the 4-6th of September 2019 in Cape Town, South Africa, aims to secure obligations and involvement of governments, businesses, investors and other stakeholders.

The forum aims to explore solutions that will aid Africa in achieving success while leveraging technology. The forum will tackle issues that border on skills, education, the ocean economy, the economic impact of drones, free trade, and eCommerce.

Arancha Gonzalez Laya, Executive Director, International Trade Centre (ITC), Geneva;
