As the industrialized world faces a looming talent shortage, Africa is emerging with the largest college-age population in history. The opportunity is clear: build a human capital superhighway that connects young Africans to the global labor market. This session explores bold strategies to equip Africa’s youth with future-ready skills and education, transforming the continent into a hub for global productivity and innovation. The time is now for Africa to lead as a powerhouse of knowledge economies and redefine the future of work worldwide.
