The World Changers Summit is a research-driven leadership platform focused on generating practical solutions for modern governance and global business systems, Eric Bortey Djenge, Director of Research and Innovation, has said.
Speaking at the official launch of the World Changers Summit U.K./Europe in Accra on February 1, 2026, Djenge emphasised the importance of evidence-based dialogue and cross-continental collaboration in shaping future-ready leadership for an increasingly complex global environment.
He noted that the summit brings together top executives, policymakers, business leaders, and innovators to move beyond theory and drive actionable outcomes in leadership and governance.
Also speaking at the launch, Director of Partnership and Sponsorship, Ransford Asamoah Parker, highlighted the critical role of strategic partnerships in the summit’s growth, stressing that strong institutional and corporate collaborations have been central to the success of previous editions held in the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.
For his part, Director of Outreach, Rev. Peter Bortei Borketey, said the summit is committed to inclusive engagement, deliberately drawing leaders from diverse sectors and regions to ensure that knowledge shared translates into tangible impact within organisations and communities.
The launch further featured remarks from Mary Asante and Apostle Godwin Benefo, members of the European engagement team who travelled from France.
They underscored the importance of the World Changers Summit Europe in strengthening leadership exchange between Africa and Europe, while expressing confidence that the upcoming Paris edition would offer a rich executive experience combining high-level dialogue, innovation, and cultural exchange.
The World Changers Summit U.K./Europe was officially launched in Accra, Ghana, marking a significant milestone in the summit’s growing international expansion.
The two-day international conference has built a strong global track record, having been held three times in the United Arab Emirates and successfully hosting two editions in the United Kingdom—Manchester and London—with participants drawn from Europe, Africa, the United States, and Asia.
It was officially announced at the launch that France will host the next edition of the World Changers Summit Europe, building on the success of previous international editions and reinforcing the summit’s position as a leading global platform for leadership and governance.
