About
SABF:
The Stanford Africa Business Forum (SABF) is an opportunity for
business leaders, policy makers, faculty and students with a common
interest in Africa to exchange ideas and build relationships that
will help promote the continent’s development. In this second year
of the Forum’s existence, our theme is “Business Unusual: How
Technology is Shaping Africa’s Growth”. We hope that our keynote
speakers, panelists and participants will explore the role
technology has played in the recent past in fostering higher levels
of growth in many African countries, and proffer new methods of
developing and deploying technology to tackle Africa’s challenges
in education, energy, communication and financial
services.
