In celebration of this year’s International Youth Day, The Peak Performer Africa (TPP Africa), in collaboration with American Spaces and the U.S. Consulate, will hold a dual-city conference with the goal of educating young Africans for the leadership, innovation, and business of the future.
On August 19, 2025, the event with the topic “21st Century Intelligence – Artificial or Emotional?” would take place concurrently in Lagos and Abuja. More than 1,000 people are anticipated to attend, including social innovators, company founders, early-career professionals, and final-year students.
The EMERGE Innovation Fund, a ₦500,000 seed grant given to the best young-led business or social impact initiative, is one of the event’s main attractions. Before a group of judges from around the world, finalists will give live presentations of their projects. A six-month mentorship program and access to coaching and visibility platforms will also be provided to the winner.
