Africa’s transformation is not only defined by its growth, but by the people behind it. Those who connect, share, and build together are the ones shaping its future.
Shaping Africa’s Economic Future
Africa Club was built around a simple belief: Africa is entering a new phase, and the people behind it matter more than ever. With a population expected to reach 2.4 billion by 2050, the continent is not just growing, it’s becoming one of the most important economic spaces in the world. But numbers alone don’t create impact. What really makes the difference is the ability to connect, to work together, and to build across borders.
The Club was founded in 2024 in Dubai by Dr. Hossein Shekarchi, alongside a group of entrepreneurs and business leaders already active in Africa. The idea wasn’t to create another network, but to bring together people who genuinely believe in what Africa represents and want to move things forward together. A place where conversations are useful, where introductions lead somewhere, and where opportunities are actually built.
Dubai felt like an obvious base. It sits at the intersection of global markets and naturally connects Africa to the rest of the world. From there, the Club has grown into a space where people meet, exchange, and develop long-term partnerships, not just one-off interactions.
At the heart of it, Africa Club is about people. It’s about individuals who are building, investing, thinking long term, and who understand that real progress comes from collaboration. Inside the Club, relationships take time. They’re based on trust, shared ambition, and a genuine willingness to support each other.
Over time, it has become more than a network. It’s a business family in the real sense of the word. A place where people come not just to connect, but to grow, to build, and to be part of something that goes beyond themselves
A Club of Influence & Leadership
The Club is also supported by a Strategic Board of experienced business leaders, investors and industry experts who contribute to shaping its direction and global reach. Its members include entrepreneurs, diaspora leaders and international actors who share a strong belief in Africa’s future.
