African businesses often struggle with short lifespans, largely tied to their founders, whose deaths jeopardize not only the businesses but also the innovative ideas that fueled their growth. This issue is exacerbated by a lack of shared experiences and documentation, leaving younger entrepreneurs with limited learning opportunities. To address this, GlobalMentorBridge is hosting the “Beyond Ideas” summit in Lagos on August 3, 2024, at the Landmark Centre. This event will bring together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and startups for a day of knowledge exchange, networking, and mentorship. Keynote speakers include Ifeoma Malo, Don Ebubeogu, and Abimbola Adebakin, among others. The summit aims to bridge generational and sectoral gaps through effective mentoring and purposeful networking and has received support from various Nigerian businesses and international partners, including Al-Hussein Technical University in Jordan.
Featured speakers include:
Ms. Ifeoma Malo, CEO and Co-founder of Clean Technology Hub, discussing “Building Clean Technology Hub – Attracting and Nurturing Top Talents into Global Leaders.”
Mr. Don Ebubeogu, CEO/MD of Tiger Foods, on “The Case of Tiger Foods – The Power of Mentorship to Drive Collaboration, Innovation, and Strong Business Leadership.”
Abimbola Adebakin, Founder and CEO of Advantage Health Africa, presenting on “Leading Advantage Health Africa.”
Babatunde Akin-Moses, Co-founder and CEO of Sycamore NG, addressing the role of mentoring across various sectors.

Dr. Tochukwu MacFoy, Founder of Energize Africa, on “Staying Ahead of Industry-Specific Knowledge, Emerging Technologies, and Global Best Practices.”
Mr. Regis Ohia, CEO of Varosi Real Estate Group, discussing “Gaining Competitive Advantage in the Real Estate Industry.”
The summit has garnered support from various Nigerian businesses, startups, and international groups, including Al-Hussein Technical University in Amman, Jordan. In June, GlobalMentorBridge held a summit in Jordan in collaboration with the university, which saw participation from notable business leaders across the Middle East and the United States, reaching approximately 1.1 million people through both in-person and online views.
For those eager to bridge the knowledge gap and advance their businesses, the “Beyond Ideas” summit promises a valuable opportunity to learn from and connect with Nigeria’s leading business minds.
