At the Africa Soft Power Summit 2026, industry leaders from sectors such as film, telecommunications, fashion, and retail emphasized that the challenges facing Africa's female economy stem from systemic design issues rather than a lack of visibility. They argued that the contributions of women to economic growth are significantly undervalued and underreported. The discussions highlighted the need for structural changes to better recognize and support the potential of female entrepreneurs across the continent. Participants called for collaborative efforts to address these systemic barriers and enhance the economic impact of women in Africa.
