It focuses on productive investment, the development of intra-African trade, and facilitating market access in line with the new trends of the African economy.
The forum serves as a continental platform for exchanging expertise and knowledge, bringing together businessmen, investors, and representatives of economic and financial institutions, along with chambers of commerce and regional and international organizations, to discuss cooperation opportunities and explore new horizons for shared economic growth.
The event also seeks to support sustainable economic partnerships and bolster joint efforts to achieve comprehensive development, in accordance with the goals of the Africa Agenda 2063, which places economic integration at the heart of its strategic priorities.
