Join us for an exclusive breakfast roundtable bringing together senior business leaders, policymakers, investors, and thought leaders to discuss the evolving landscape of African trade and investment.
With major shifts in global trade policy – from U.S. aid cuts and the uncertain future of AGOA, to the UK’s renewed focus on bilateral trade post-Brexit – this is a pivotal moment for African businesses to capitalise on emerging opportunities.
Africa’s top exports have long been dominated by raw materials, but a new wave of growth is emerging in tech, creative industries, manufacturing, energy, and digital services – sectors that are defining Africa’s future as a global trading partner. This roundtable will explore how to leverage these trends for business growth, policy influence, and market expansion.
