The Africa Global Business Forum 2014 will be organised by Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on October 1st & 2nd 2014 at Atlantis The Palm, Dubai, UAE. With the global business environment in rapid change, opportunities are opening up in new and developing economies, namely in Africa. Indeed, with a population of over 1 billion people and a combined GDP of close to US$2 trillion, Africa’s strong economic growth in recent years has made it a region of international focus and interest by many businesses that are flocking to the region for its multitude of economic prospects. The Africa Global Business Forum will offer a platform to over 2,000 policy-makers and global business leaders from Africa, the GCC, Asia and Europe and beyond to discuss current challenges and business opportunities in finance, agribusiness, logistics, and trade across the economic blocs of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the East African Community (EAC), the South African Development Community (SADC), the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), Intergovernmental Authority for Development (IGAD) and the African Union (AU). The Forum will highlight Dubai’s strategic role as a world-class hub for doing business with Africa. The UAE government has shown great interest in expanding business with the continent seizing opportunities available on the African continent, with an estimated US$97bn in capital expenditure on the continent in the last 10 years. The Africa Global Business Forum will provide delegates with access to engaging sessions in which they will have the opportunity to exchange with high-level speakers as well as a large array of networking opportunities which can be taken forward in the designated Meeting Zones. The Forum will also give a flavour to what the African continent has to offer to its residents and visitors in terms of investments and tourism via the designated Tourism and African Investment Promotion Agency Zones, where a selection of African countries will display their main attractions, facilities and business opportunities.
