A Defining Moment for African Economic Leadership The 2026 Yobel Annual Conference marks a milestone expansion in ambition and scope. Co-convened alongside CASTLE Think Tank and Makerere University, this year’s summit bridges entrepreneurial leadership, policy intelligence, and academic research. 

As global power dynamics shift, the energy transition accelerates, and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) unfolds, Africa is not merely a passive observer—it is an active agent shaping its own economic destiny. The 2026 conference brings together key decision-makers to move beyond reactive adaptation and define deliberate, forward-looking economic strategies for Uganda and the region.
