Abdullahi Alim

Speaker at the St. Gallen Symposium

Abdullahi Alim is the CEO of The Africa Future Fund, which backs audacious ideas and individuals that are reimagining the trajectory of the continent. The organisation is premised on the idea of protecting the next billion Africans to be born in the next generation alone and ensuring demographic gains run commensurate with increases in living standards and industrialisation, while respecting ecological boundaries. Previously, Abdullahi led Project2030 at the International Chamber of Commerce which sought to develop insights on future risks to global business. Moreover, he led The Davos Lab at the World Economic Forum, the world’s first post-pandemic recovery plan for young people and future generations that consulted upwards of 2 million people and generated over 40 policies and recommendations. Mr Alim holds a B.Com. (Hons) in Finance from the University of Western Australia and a B.Sc. in Actuarial and Applied Statistics from Curtin University.
