Three years into the establishment of the Global Goals, the UN Global Compact CEO Roundtable will be an intimate and candid stocktaking opportunity for business leaders to address progress on inequality and human rights.

With increasing electrification, growth in the telecommunications sector, digitalization, and access to abundant resources, the technology industry is playing an increasingly large role in economic development across Africa.
