In this interactive twist on the traditional fireside chat, attendees will have the unique opportunity to engage directly with Haresh Aswani, Group CEO of Tolaram. The session will be driven by audience participation, with attendees invited to submit their questions. In addition to asking a few engaging questions around the theme, the moderator will then select and pose these audience questions to Mr. Aswani, allowing for a dynamic and insightful discussion on his perspectives, experiences on the continent, why Tolaram is bullish on Africa and his vision for Africa’s future.
This session will explore the untapped potential of emerging markets across Africa that are on the brink of significant growth but have yet to attract substantial investment.

Panelists will share insights on the factors driving growth in these regions, the role of innovation and infrastructure, and the impact of increased investment on local economies. The session aims to provide investors and policymakers with a roadmap for unlocking value in these markets.
