The Africa 2017 Forum is a business-to-business and government-to-business platform, focusing on key strategic sectors.

This year’s Forum will focus on “Driving Investment for Inclusive Growth”, providing a platform to increase private sector cooperation in Africa and catalyse investment into sectors of strategic interest to our continent.
