Applications are now open for the 2025 Financial Times/World Bank Group Africa Sustainable Futures Awards. The Financial Times and the World Bank Group have launched the second edition of the Africa Sustainable Futures Awards, a major annual programme that promotes innovative, long-term solutions to development challenges in Africa.
The Africa Sustainable Futures Awards will again showcase commercially viable initiatives that provide transformative, resilient and scalable solutions to these issues, and address not just current needs but also the well-being of future generations, at a time when it is more important than ever to build self-sustaining models for growth.
The winner in each category will be announced at a special awards dinner on 22 October 2025 that will conclude the FT’s 12th Africa Summit, a major event in London that will gather African government, business, and finance leaders, together with global investors and industry partners, to discuss how to drive forward the continent’s economic transformation.
