The must-attend event for the African business world

Business leaders, heads of state and ministers, international investors, and representatives of the African and European business communities come together to explore synergies and opportunities to promote between the two continents.

Over two days filled with key moments, participants attend a series of panels led by influential speakers, engage in working sessions, enjoy informal networking opportunities, take part in B2B meetings, and participate in award ceremonies.

After two initial editions held in Nice, the Choiseul Africa Business Forum settled in one of the continent’s major economic capitals, Casablanca. Since then, the event has continued to take place in iconic locations, strengthening its role as a strategic platform for dialogue and action.
