In the February/March 2026 issue of FORBES AFRICA, we spotlight the women on our third annual Over 30 Under 50 list. Hailing from different industries, countries, and communities across Africa, these trailblazers are united by one defining trait: a willingness to take risks. From business leaders and comedians to Amapiano artists and tech pioneers, they are boldly betting on themselves—choosing decisiveness and tangible impact over comfort and complacency in the third and fourth decades of their lives. We also speak to Ghanaian immunologist and biotech entrepreneur, Dr Yaw Bediako, who is doing critical work, using his startup to amp up the representation of African data in oncology drug discovery. Green energy is becoming a marker of economic strength and with vast untapped renewable resources, Africa holds a strategic advantage. However, high financing costs and fragmented infrastructure threaten to slow its momentum. And, from Accra to Cape Town, is PechaKucha becoming the perfect stage for African ideas and storytelling? In the environmental sphere–revered by some and feared by many, snakes have a complicated history in Africa. Their environmental impact is often overlooked, representing only a fragment of ecological studies. This seems to be changing and they are slowly creeping into the spotlight. Also, Benjamin Rosman, whose research is powering Africa’s geo-patriated AI future, expands on the work being done at the Machine Intelligence and Neural Discovery Institute (MIND), with research specializing in everything from neuroanatomy and behavioral psychology, to policy and governance, in the service of uncovering breakthroughs in artificial and natural intelligence. From conversations with the South African ski-racer taking the sport to newer heights to Olympian sports star Oscar Chalupsky on the art of winning–and never quitting, you can read about all this and more in the latest issue of FORBES AFRICA–on shelves now!
