BCG Partners with B20

The goal of the B20's work is to improve policy making, drive strong and sustainable economic growth, and establish appropriate economic governance. Each year, membership in the B20 ranges from 500 to 1,000 of the most influential business leaders. The forum is organized by topic task forces that are determined by the host country to reflect priorities in global business and economic governance.

BCG has tapped both our people and our insights to help identify the policy changes that can most improve economic, social, and environmental outcomes on key issues such as trade, investment, infrastructure, human capital, and financing for growth.

B20 South Africa (2025)

B20 South Africa marks a pivotal moment as the first-ever B20 hosted in Africa, reinforcing the continent’s growing importance on the global stage. This milestone is especially significant following the African Union’s inclusion in the G20 in 2023, highlighting Africa’s critical role in shaping the world’s economic future.

Under the theme “Inclusive Growth and Prosperity Through Global Cooperation,” B20 South Africa emphasizes the power of collective action in addressing global economic challenges and ensuring that growth is equitable and far-reaching.

This B20 cycle will be driven by eight task forces, and BCG is proud to serve as the knowledge partner for two of them:

• Trade and Investment
• Energy Mix and Just Transition

Through these task forces, BCG will harness its global expertise and collaborate with over 400 business leaders worldwide to develop impactful, action-oriented policy recommendations that amplify the voice of business on these critical issues.”
