The EU-Africa Business Forum Facility (EABFF) is glad to invite you to two events: a panel discussion featuring EU Africa joint ventures in the digital sector & a business networking session to facilitate exchange of information and foster new business relationships. On 27 August 2024, the EU-Africa Business Forum Facility is organising a panel discussion featuring successful EU Africa joint ventures in the digital sector. The event will highlight key opportunities and challenges these ventures encounter. The Facility will bring together a diverse group of companies of varying sizes and ownership structures, aiming at fostering a rich and balanced discussion on the many facets of doing business in Africa's digital landscape. The event will showcase the application of digital technology to areas such as renewable energy innovation projects, agritech projects, and digital health amongst others. The panel will highlight innovative solutions at the intersection of digitalisation and sustainability, addressing pressing challenges while promoting economic growth and environmental stewardship. Topics will include regulatory frameworks, ease of doing business, and non-tariff barriers, among others, with the view of drawing out practical recommendations for the Business community. Furthermore, back-to-back with the panel, the Facility will also organise an enhanced Business Networking Session. This session aims to facilitate the rapid exchange of information and foster the development of new business relationships. It is an efficient way for professionals to expand their network, identify potential collaborators, clients, or partners, and promote their own business or services. This session offers a prime opportunity for European enterprises looking to identify partners and expand their business in Africa, as well as for EU companies interested in exploring market opportunities and broadening their networks. It is a value-added activity for Members States and EU initiatives attending the Summit with their pool of companies, providing an occasion to identify potential business partners and connect with companies with shared business interests.
