Presentations by Guy Lundy

Africa: The Rescramble

Africa’s future presents vast opportunity alongside complexity. This keynote explores the continent’s transformation from perceived risk to a major global growth frontier. Drawing on deep insights and access to key figures, Guy unpacks where opportunities lie, how to navigate diverse markets across 54 countries, and how to mitigate the risks associated with doing business on the continent.

South Africa and the World: 2020 and Beyond

This presentation examines global, continental, and South African trends and their impact on business. It highlights how shifting economic and innovation patterns create both threats and opportunities, and how organisations can position themselves for sustainable growth over the next decade.

Going Global

As globalisation accelerates, businesses are increasingly looking beyond local markets. This session provides practical insights into expanding into new territories, particularly across Africa. Based on research into leading South African companies, it explores strategies for successful international expansion while managing risk and operational complexity.

The Business of Cities

This keynote explores the growing importance of cities as centres of economic and political power. With rapid urbanisation shaping the future of global markets, Guy highlights the opportunities and challenges businesses face in an increasingly urban world, and how to adapt strategies to succeed in city-driven economies.
