GIL

Where the leaders shaping industries meet, learn, and plan.

A selective platform for senior executives, government officials and technical leaders. We convene invitation-only programs that connect the people who make decisions about Africa’s industries with world-class expertise, and with each other.

  • Primary location
  • Alternative location

Built for the decisions that shape a continent

Africa’s industries are at a crossroads. New resources are opening, capital is harder to win, technology is changing how assets are run, and governments and investors expect more. The leaders who navigate this well will be the ones whose boards, regulators and engineers decide from the same evidence.

Global Industry Leaders brings those people together. Our international consortium designs each program around one industry and one level of the organisation, and every program is taught by practitioners who have done the work.

Programs

Our series

Each series focuses on one industry or capability, with cohorts designed for different levels of the organisation.
