What Is The Emerging Leaders Summit?
The Emerging Leaders Summit kicks off TPP Fest and it is a platform dedicated to upskilling and upscaling high potential young leaders in the private and public sector across Africa to Accelerate their Performance & Productivity with 21st Century Intelligence.
Whether you’re building your empire, climbing the leadership ladder, or pivoting into your next big chapter, Emerging Leaders Summit provides you with the knowledge, skills and community you need.
About Emerging Leaders Summit 2025?
The 21st-century workplace is no longer defined by just technical expertise or hard work. Productivity and performance now depend on the ability to blend Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Emotional Intelligence (EI) to enable them master data-driven tools while still leading with authenticity, empathy, and influence.
The Emerging Leaders Summit 2025 (GRIT™ Edition) is an exclusive strategic coaching platform for select high-potential young professionals and entrepreneurs. This is not a general youth empowerment event — it is a transformational coaching experience designed to accelerate the rise of tomorrow’s C-Suite executives, founders, and industry disruptors.
Through the GRIT™ philosophy (i.e. Grow, Rise, Innovate & Thrive Against All Odds) participants will gain the mindset, tools, and coaching needed to unlock bold leadership, accelerate performance, and future-proof their careers and enterprises.
What Makes GRIT™
- Selective Access – Attendance is by nomination, corporate enrollment, or competitive application, ensuring only high-potential leaders are in the room.
- Strategic Coaching, Not Motivation – Every session is anchored on executive coaching frameworks, not hype, providing practical tools delegates can apply immediately.
- Integration Into the GRIT™ Platform – Delegates automatically onboard into the GRIT™ ecosystem for 90-day growth sprints, mentorship, and continuous coaching.
- Corporate ROI – Organizations that enroll delegates secure a future-ready talent pipeline, reducing leadership gaps and enhancing retention.
- Immersive Peer-to-Peer Learning – Delegates join strategy circles and coaching labs where they learn directly from coaches, industry leaders, and peers — building networks of influence that last beyond the Summit.
What Participants Will Gain

-
GROW: Build executive presence, confidence, and decision-making skills using AI tools enhanced by EI insights.

This Is Not Just Another Youth Conference
The Emerging Leaders Summit 2025 (GRIT™ Edition) is not about hype, hashtags, or motivational soundbites. It is a strategic coaching platform built to transform high-potential professionals and entrepreneurs into the next generation of Africa’s boardroom leaders, enterprise builders, and global disruptors.
Unlike typical youth events, this Summit is:
Exclusive, Not Mass-Market – Attendance is selective: by corporate nomination, executive enrollment, or competitive application. Only serious emerging leaders make it into the room.
Coaching-Driven, Not Motivation-Driven – Every session is anchored in executive coaching frameworks, equipping delegates with practical skills, not temporary excitement.
Strategically Integrated, Not One-Off – Delegates continue their journey with the GRIT™ 90-Day Challenge and ecosystem of mentorship, accountability, and growth tools.
Corporate ROI-Centered, Not Crowd-Focused – Companies that invest in delegates don’t just send staff to “attend an event” — they secure a future-ready leadership pipeline.
Peer-Influence Powered, Not Passive Listening – Through Coaching Labs and Strategy Circles, participants co-create solutions, exchange insights, and build networks that extend far beyond the Summit.
This is where the next C-Suite executives, policy shapers, and innovation leaders are being sharpened.
