LSE Africa Summit

LSE Africa Summit is a student-led conference annual conference that normally holds every year at the London School of Economics & Political Science, London, UK.

The last edition was held on the 26th and 27th of March 2022, and the upcoming edition will hold in March 2023 but the new date is yet to be announced by the organisers.

LSE summit is a two-day conference that gathers leaders in politics, business, and the arts as well as policymakers and researchers for discussion on solutions to Africa's most pressing issues.

The topic aims to tackle the unemployment challenge, especially amongst the youth on the continent, and offer solutions to promote job creation and inclusive and sustainable growth on the continent.  

Due to the issue of unemployment which continues to give rise to serious social, economic, and security challenges the following topics will be discussed at the conference:

  • Laws, regulations, and policies,
  • Bridging the skills, education, and training gaps,
  • The impact of technology and digitalisation on jobs and economic growth,
  • Entrepreneurship as an engine for job creation and inclusive growth,
  • The role of the booming creative industries in socio-economic development.

The summit will feature scholars, leading politicians, and forward-thinking corporate and entrepreneurial minds together with our population of highly capable and passionate students at the LSE.

This annual summit provides a unique platform for the sharing of ideas and the development of relationships that can be translated into meaningful action.
