Patroned by Congo DRC and chaired by Experts of the African continent, the African Investment Day is the first conference exclusively panelled by experts from the continent of opportunities and dedicated to open and develop strong trade and investment ties, open doors into francophone Africa with this year's focus on Congo and a proactive approach by the panellists to further promote francophone Africa and its virgin markets. Investors and the Mittelstand in particular will get first hand access into the markets in consideration to investment profile and macro trends.

The African Investment Day 2022 brings together African CEO’s, political, social leaders and entrepreneurs  with Germany’s private investment sector to share ideas and network on potential trade and investment opportunities on the African continent. This year's particular emphasis is placed on Democratic Republic of Congo with a strong representation of other francophone African countries such as Mali, Congo Republic, Benin, Togo and Cameroon.

The African Investment Day 2022 also focuses on providing attendees with pragmatic insights, realistic market entry strategies considering the socio- cultural context and in-depth expertise from panellists currently engaged on the continent as well as in Europe.

Attendees will have the chance to forge long standing bonds for cooperation to de-risk projects, generate win-win results and positive impact for all stakeholders in a thriving economic environment.”

These African CEO’s, politicians, influencers, entrepreneurs and non-governmental organisations will help to develop and guide attendees to create fresh commercial bonds to shape business and further increase the commercial cooperation.

Far from a sterile exchange of business cards with expats, this conference creates bonds by an intimate frame, friendly business tone and an atmosphere of sustainable business friendships with the help of cultural ambassadors from the African diaspora in Germany.
