FORBES AFRICA’s annual 30 Under 30 issue is here! Propelled by ambition and motivated by success, the Class of 2025 remain steadfast in the narrative that there is no greater time to be African than now. For this year’s cohort, it’s not just about solving the scourge of youth unemployment but ensuring that success and succession are part of building brands and businesses. From health tech to sport, entertainment and music, social impact, manufacturing and ecommerce, Africa’s youth have proven that they are more than ready for the challenge—and willing to do whatever it takes for their communities, countries, and continent. Also in this issue, from West Africa, shea butter is powering a global market, worth billions. An industry in transition, women built it, and now men are racing to scale it. HIV research on the continent is also in the spotlight–with strategic collaborations, targeted funding, and growing investment in science, Africa holds immense potential in spearheading the future of global healthcare. We speak to American billionaire, Phillip ‘Terry’ Ragon about his belief in African-led science and why a breakthrough is within reach. In the world of sport, could AI help uncover the next football stars in South Africa? A tech firm may have the answer. It's no secret that Africa has great potential in the global electric vehicle (EV) battery value chain. But is the continent’s automotive industry ready to lead a future where African-made batteries power locally-assembled EVs? From a look at one of South Africa’s most favorite exports–rooibos tea–to Nigeria’s role in leading sub-Saharan Africa’s mobile gaming revolution, powered by smartphones, stories, and ambition, the latest issue of FORBES AFRICA is not to be missed.
