Berlin, 04/11/2025: Prof. Dr. Stefan Liebing, member of the CBTA and long-standing player in German-African economic relations, has once again been honored by Africa.Table (Table.Media) as one of the “100 most influential figures in the African scene.” This marks the second consecutive year that he has been named one of the most important figures in the German-speaking African context.
Every year, the editors of Africa.Table honor outstanding personalities from ten categories—including politics, business, consulting, science, and civil society—who have made a special contribution to cooperation with African countries. As in the previous year, Liebing is listed in the category of consulting/business.
The former Chairman of the German-African Business Association is active with his consulting firm Conjuncta GmbH and several major projects in the field of renewable energies, including hydrogen and infrastructure projects in Angola and Mauritania. With his economic commitment, network, and expertise in African markets, Liebing continues to be one of the leading voices on issues of energy and investment cooperation with African partner countries.
For the CBTA, this renewed award is also a sign that strategic knowledge transfer between science, business, and politics is having an impact. Liebing brings practical perspectives from corporate practice to the center’s research, teaching, and project work.
The complete list of the “Top 100” will be published in one of the upcoming issues of Africa.Table Professional Briefings.
