This issue has everything young Africans are looking for – inspiration, lessons on entrepreneurship, role models and a great spread of tomorrow's titans! The FORBES AFRICA 30 Under 30 list is always a best-seller, as we uncover, for the ninth consecutive year, the continent’s most promising young people, taking offbeat routes to achieve success. These young achievers, starting from scratch to build businesses and brands, are our 2023 finalists, our newest class of multi-tasking multi-hyphenate entrepreneurs, innovators and leaders showing how they will grow human capital, put a dent in issues and lead Africa’s future – on their own terms. These are the founders and leaders creating a new world order, putting in place effective solutions for Africa’s problems, as also changing its image on the global stage. Also in this issue, more success stories to read about – the East African country of Rwanda is deepening its economic and investment relations with business behemoth UAE, its leading trade partner that it has now signed five new M0Us with. We also unpack how Rwandan cinema is coming of age, with a new wave of artistes and filmmakers bent on reiterating the country’s creative spirit and putting its movies on the international map. From the world of sport, we talk about the continent’s most favorite – football in South Africa. And the tech topic of the hour gets its due too: while the world buzzes about ChatGPT, where does Africa fit into the chatbot conversation? We look at why the continent needs its own startups that focus on conversational AI. All this and more in the power- and action-packed April/May 2023 issue of FORBES AFRICA! Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
