Africa Business Day
The AFRICA BUSINESS DAY is the indispensable annual platform in Switzerland for doing business in and with Africa. AFRICA BUSINESS DAY is organized by the Swiss-African Business Circle under the patronage of the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO. The 2021 edition will be hosted by the African Export-Import Bank (Afrexim bank) virtually on the 25 of June. We are expecting 300 to 350 participants from more than 30 countries including CEOs, members of the Board, business development managers, African Ambassadors based in Switzerland, Swiss Ambassadors based in Africa, export managers and investors. During the event, African Embassies/Missions present investment opportunities in their respective countries at country desks in the dedicated virtual exhibition area.
Main theme for 2021:The 2021 edition will focus on the topic of value chains on the African continent under the title ‘The power of regional value chains: African markets and the new operating environment’. Going forward, African regional integration means that local/regional value chains will grow in importance and strengthen Africa’s role within global value chains. What does this mean for companies with a pan-African approach? What role are Swiss companies playing as the African continent consolidates its position on the world stage? And what developments need to be followed to make successful business decisions?
