In 2003, some students from the ESCP decided to gather together and establish the African Business Club (ABC) in order to create a platform of brainstorming on issues from the African continent. In 2004 students and professionals from other business and engineering schools of France started to join the club. Currently, ABC illustrates itself as a network of competences working to build Africa.

 

OBJECTIVES

The main objectives of ABC are to:

• Create a network of professionals and intellectuals concerned with the problems that impact on the development of Africa.

• Encourage debate and exchange in its network.

• Contribute to Africa’s development by carrying out charitable work in order to raise awareness of African youth in their involvement in development

• Facilitate access to information about the opportunities offered in the continent

STRUCTURE

L'Equipe ABC

ABC is structured on two main bodies: an executive board and the supporters:

  •  The executive board run the daily management of the club by organizing and monitoring the projects of the club.  
  • ABC’s network is composed of 3500 members including 75% who live in France.

Members of ABC are students and professionals coming from the most prestigious Schools and Universities in France (Polytechnique, HEC, INSA, ISFA, ENSAE, ESCP-Europe, EM-LYON, ESSEC,DAUPHINE, SORBONNE…).

Approximately aged between 20 and 35 years, they provide their skills to the association to achieve all its different projects. Whether African or not, they are united by a common objective: undertake actions that will contribute to the development of Africa. Therefore ABC is a real platform of meeting, debate, development and exchange of ideas and experiences.
