The Economic Club of Africa Network (ECAN) is a non-profit organization dedicated to finance, innovation, and development in Africa. We are a premier platform leading the way in strategic and sustainable resource mobilization. 

ECAN’s core mandate is to strengthen commercial ties and deepen innovation exchanges by convening global thought leaders and sharing actionable insights. We provide a platform to help members build meaningful, long-term, and high-impact connections.

ECAN boasts a diverse membership base of global business leaders, entrepreneurs, diplomats, policymakers, and civic leaders. Membership is by invitation only — and typically reserved for highly accomplished and distinguished leaders and experts in the public, private, academic, and civic sectors.

Our core offerings include:

• Cutting-edge insights on finance, innovation, and development
• Insights on maximizing diaspora capital and expertise for impact
• Public-private partnerships and sustainable resource mobilization
• Understanding Africa’s position in a rapidly evolving global economy
• Strategic networking and unfettered access to an elite network of global leaders
• Navigating the global financial landscape, including access to capital markets

With a regional presence in Lagos (Nigeria), New York (United States), and Quatre Bornes (Mauritius), we are committed to transforming frontier and emerging markets across the continent into innovation engines.
