#WeBuildWealth – Africa’s Entrepreneur Wealth Forum is a premier two-day event dedicated to empowering Africa’s entrepreneurs to not only create wealth but to grow, manage, preserve, and transfer it across generations. The forum brings together entrepreneurs, wealth management experts, financial institutions, regulators, and thought leaders to explore the full wealth management value chain.
The gathering will cover a full spectrum of topics on investment and wealth management, presented by leading experts in the field. Topics to be covered include, among others:
Johannesburg stands as the financial and economic engine of South Africa and one of the most influential business hubs on the African continent. Home to the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) — among the top 20 securities exchanges globally by market capitalisation — the city anchors the country’s investment ecosystem, hosting a concentration of banks, wealth management and investment advisory firms, asset managers, and a range of wealth-related professional services firms. With world-class financial infrastructure, Johannesburg has long been the centre of wealth creation, capital flows, and investment practice in Southern Africa.
As South Africa’s wealth and investment management capital, Johannesburg offers the perfect environment for an event dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs with the knowledge and networks needed to grow, preserve, and transfer wealth. The city’s strong entrepreneurial culture, combined with its financial leadership, creates a unique platform where founders, investors, wealth advisors, and policymakers converge, providing a perfect backdrop for #WeBuildWealth – Africa’s Entrepreneur Wealth Forum.
