The 18th World Economic Forum on Africa is going to start on Wednesday in Cape Town, South Africa.

Under the theme of Capitalizing on Opportunity, the meeting will address the challenges that Africa must address if it is to be seen as a reliable and competitive partner in the global economy.

A globally-attuned agenda that secures Africa's place in capitalizing on opportunity will be built around five core pillars: Re-engineering Growth; Unfinished Business; Innovate or Perish; Partnership without Borders; and Licence to Lead.

These pillars will reflect on how to capitalize on continued African economic growth at a time of a general global economic downturn.

More than 800 decision-makers from 50 countries are expected to participate in this meeting which will last to Friday.
