Join the Black Professionals in International Affairs (BPIA) for a virtual discussion on "The Road to Davos", where we will explore the role of Africa and the diaspora in addressing 21st-century challenges at the 2025 World Economic Forum. This session will feature Alexandria J. Maloney, President of BPIA, and Queen Iminah Laura Ahmad, BPIA Board Member, as they discuss actionable strategies for tackling global challenges through African leadership and diaspora-driven collaboration.

The Africa House Future Forum Davos serves as a platform to amplify African voices, innovation, and leadership during the World Economic Forum. By bringing together policymakers, business leaders, and changemakers from across the globe, Africa House spotlights Africa’s pivotal role in advancing sustainable development, fostering economic growth, and addressing critical global challenges such as climate change, health equity, and technological transformation.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is the premier international organization for public-private cooperation, convening world leaders annually in Davos, Switzerland, to discuss pressing global issues. The 2025 WEF will focus on reshaping the future of global prosperity, peace, and sustainability by uniting diverse stakeholders to design and implement solutions.

As the official strategic media partner for the Africa House Future Forum Davos 2025, BPIA is uniquely positioned to engage in these high-level discussions, bringing forward innovative ideas and impactful contributions from Africa and the diaspora to the global stage.
