Axum means many things to many people. It’s a city. A place. An idea. It’s not a single event in time- but a construct that speaks across time with a complex and ongoing journey.
The ancient city of Axum was a place where different worlds met, across Africa, the Middle East and the world. It was a place that cradled African innovation. It represents and recognizes what it means to support, shape, and amplify Africa’s growth and voice in the world.
