Where London's boardrooms meet Africa's next chapter.
LBS Africa Club connects MBA students, alumni and industry leaders who are building careers, companies and capital across the African continent — anchored by our flagship Africa Business Summit.
A community built around the continent's opportunity.
From the trading floor to the board table, our members are shaping how capital, talent and ideas move between London and Africa's fastest-growing markets.
Africa Business Summit
Our flagship annual conference brings investors, founders and policymakers to London for a day of debate on the continent's economic future.
Professional network
A standing community of MBA students and alumni working across private equity, venture capital, consulting and industry on the continent.
Mentorship & treks
Career treks, fireside chats and one-to-one mentoring that connect prospective students with practitioners already working across Africa.
Research & insight
Sector briefings and member-written analysis on the trends shaping trade, technology and investment across African markets.
The Africa Business Summit
Held on campus each year, the Summit is one of Europe's leading student-run gatherings on African business. It brings together founders, investors, policymakers and LBS's own community for a day of panels, keynotes and closed-door dialogue on the opportunities and hard questions facing the continent's economy.
Delegates leave with a sharper view of where capital is moving — and a room full of people to move it with.
