Invest Africa Ltd is gearing up for its annual flagship event: The Africa Debate ’23. Now in its 9th year, this year’s event will take place on the 11th of May in London under the theme of “Catalysing the Continent’s Trade Potential.”
In the wake of COVID-19 and a multitude of global economic shocks, the continent’s trade outlook is at a crossroads. The pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the global economic slowdown, and rising protectionism paint a gloomy picture. And yet, the continent also finds itself perhaps more resilient to trade and economic shocks than ever before, with African countries aligning trade and investment policies behind the #AfCFTA.
This year’s programme will bring together leaders from across the continent to discuss and debate the future of African trade and how investors can best
support and prepare for a more integrated – and competitive – African trade environment.
Following a successful Investor & Trade Mission to #Zambia last month, we are honoured to be hosting H.E. Hakainde Hichilema, President of the Republic of Zambia, as a guest speaker. We will also be joined by African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, SG H.E. Wamkele Mene, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Rt. Hon. Andrew Mitchell MP, Africa Finance Corporation, President and CEO Samaila Zubairu, Trade and Development Bank Group – TDB Group, President Emeritus & Group Managing Director, Admassu Tadesse , UAE Climate Change Special Envoy, COP28 Private Sector Engagement Lead Hanan Bakr, CFA-ESG,H2 Expert, and numerous other leaders from global businesses, private and public investment bodies, and government officials.
