South Africa’s focus on sustainable and inclusive growth through its G20 presidency resonates deeply with the objectives of the conference, which has long been a platform for driving economic transformation, empowerment, and sustainable development.

The 2025 Nedbank Top Empowerment Conference and Awards will celebrate outstanding contributions to transformation and inclusive growth in South Africa. With the theme 'Empowerment through bold transformation', the conference will take place from 31 July 2025 to 1 August 2025 at the Sandton Convention Centre. It will bring together business leaders, policymakers, and transformation champions to recognise the incredible progress made in driving meaningful change. This theme calls for a bold new era of change, encouraging collaboration and innovation, and emphasising empowerment as the core of transformation across all sectors.

As a key partner, Nedbank continues to support initiatives that advance transformation, foster inclusive growth, and empower individuals and businesses nationwide. The Nedbank Top Empowerment Conference and Awards provides a platform to share best practices, discuss challenges, and celebrate achievements that contribute to a more equitable and thriving South Africa.
