With a focus on strengthening Africa's private sector development to spur innovation, job creation, and global competitiveness, the Frontier 100 Forum convened in Washington, DC October 20 and 21, 2015. The twice-yearly forum is sponsored by the Initiative for Global Development (IGD), a U.S.-based organization that engages business leaders from the U.S., Africa and other regions in creating growth and alleviating poverty in Africa through strategic, successful business investment.
