Convene
We bring leaders, builders, researchers, professionals and active citizens into conversations shaped by African realities and opportunities.
About ATST
A meeting place for the
Africa we are building.
ATST stands for Agenda 2063, the long-term continental vision initiated by the African Union. We bring together people with the experience, imagination and commitment to move Africa’s shared ambitions forward, and every part of our work is pursued in service of that ideal.
2063Our purpose
From a continental vision
to work people can act on.
Initiated by the African Union, Agenda 2063 describes a prosperous, integrated, peaceful and people-driven Africa. It provides the ideal toward which ATST directs its convening, communities and partnerships.
Our role is to help translate that long-term continental ambition into present-day momentum by connecting expertise across sectors, institutions and borders. Africa already holds the knowledge, talent and resolve required for progress. ATST provides continuity: a trusted platform where the right people can meet, learn from one another and keep working after the event has ended.
How we work
Connection with
clear intent.
ATST combines a continental gathering with year-round communities designed to sustain focused collaboration.
Connect
We create relationships across industries and borders, helping valuable knowledge travel further than a single organisation or event.
Continue
Our Special Interest Groups allow sector communities to explore priorities, surface expertise and develop practical initiatives.
Contribute
We make room for meaningful participation through ideas, experience, partnership, mentorship and action.
What guides us
Progress is strongest when it is
African-led, connected and shared.
We believe in Africa’s potential and focus that belief on useful, achievable progress.
We value local experience while recognising that many opportunities grow when knowledge crosses borders.
We welcome diverse voices and prioritise contribution grounded in experience, curiosity and respect.
We look beyond a moment on stage toward relationships and communities that can keep creating value.
Take part
The future is not something
we wait for. We organise for it.
Whether you lead an institution, build a company, practise a profession, conduct research or strengthen a community, ATST offers a place to connect your work to a wider African story.
