Yesterday (Saturday, November 22, 2025), Johannesburg welcomed leaders from the world’s top economies as the G20 summit kicked off. It’s the first time this mega-meet has landed in Africa 🌍
Under the theme "Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability," the two-day summit zeroes in on boosting Africa’s voice in global governance and tackling shared development goals across the Global South. Expect hot takes on green energy, digital innovation, and economic inclusion.
For our tech-savvy crowd in South and Southeast Asia, here’s why it matters: African startups are fast closing the gap, from Nairobi’s fintech hubs to Cape Town’s clean-energy labs. This summit could spark new cross-border collabs – think Sri Lankan coders teaming up with Kenyan entrepreneurs!
Sustainability sessions will dive into real-world solutions: solar microgrids lighting up remote villages, and sustainable agriculture powered by AI. Plus, equality panels are set to spotlight policies that can level the playing field for youth across continents.
Whether you’re following along on your morning commute or catching highlights between classes, stay tuned for big announcements on digital finance, climate action, and inclusive growth. This is more than politics – it’s a chance to reshape our interconnected future 🚀
Keep an eye on the closing day (Sunday, November 23) to see if any game-changing commitments drop. Follow #G20Summit for live updates!
