The Choiseul 100 Africa is an annual ranking independently conducted by Choiseul Africa. It identifies and highlights 200 young African economic decision-makers aged 40 or under who, through their activities and influence, are playing and will continue to play a significant role in Africa's economic development in the near future.
Since its launch in 2014, the aim of this ranking has been to highlight and connect African decision-makers destined to play a leading role in the continent’s economy.
