New York, September 2025 – At this year’s United Nations General Assembly Week (UNGA), the global spotlight won’t only be on presidents and diplomats. It will also shine on a new powerhouse: Africa’s women business leaders.

On September 24th, the HERitage Collective will launch HERitage House @ UNGA 2025, an elevated space dedicated to showcasing Africa’s next generation of women founders and executives.

A Different Kind of Power Gathering

HERitage Collective is not another influencer group. It is a network of more than 40 African women entrepreneurs and executives who have built companies, commanded markets, and cultivated professional audiences across industries. Now, they are bringing that same energy to New York.

  • Collective Voice: Instead of isolated efforts, brands and partners access a unified message amplified by dozens of influential women.
  • LinkedIn Edge: While much of the world chases fleeting Instagram trends, HERitage Collective dominates LinkedIn — the platform where executives, policymakers, and global decision-makers engage.
  • Proven Impact: Past convenings have generated 500,000+ digital impressions, drawn 110+ C-suite leaders, and secured media coverage across Africa and the diaspora.

The Collective is also creating a physical space — HERitage House — a pop-up oasis of African leadership. It will host:

  • Executive networking and roundtables
  • A dedicated media studio for live interviews and features
  • Cultural showcases of African heritage and innovation
  • Premium brand activations designed to resonate globally

Why It Matters

Africa is home to the world’s youngest population and fastest-growing consumer market. Within this landscape, African women are driving new enterprises, controlling household purchasing power, and shaping economic policy.

For international brands, investors, and policymakers, HERitage House is more than an event — it is a front-row seat to the continent’s future.

The Bottom Line

When African women lead the conversation, the world listens. At UNGA 2025, they aren’t just part of the story. They are writing it.
