Affectionately known as Dada, Mr. Jadeja is a highly respected British-Indian business leader, philanthropist, and global community advocate with over three decades of dedicated service across business, public service, and social impact.

The 2025 edition will take place on Friday, 12th September 2025 at The Royal Horseguards Hotel & One Whitehall Place in London — bringing together heads of state, ministers, investors, and business leaders to accelerate trade and economic cooperation between the UK and Africa.

Mr. Jadeja brings with him not only a wealth of experience across sectors such as renewable energy, healthcare, education, and infrastructure but also a powerful network within the Indian business community, many of whom are increasingly seeking opportunities to expand into African markets. His role will be instrumental in strengthening India–Africa commercial ties through the UK as a strategic hub.

• Executive Vice Chairman, AAMEVOL Care Ltd

A bridge-builder between the UK, India, and emerging markets, Mr. Jadeja was also the first Asian National President of the National Federation of Retail Newsagents (NFRN) in the UK and has been recognised with numerous global honours including the Bharat Gaurav Award at the UK Parliament and the GOPIO Award for Visionary Social Responsibility.

We are honoured to have Mr. Jadeja on board as we work to amplify South–South collaboration and unlock new trade corridors between Africa, the UK, and India.
