Africa Trade Forum: Trade, Investment and the New Continental Agenda

As global trade shifts accelerate, how can Africa seize this moment to reshape its economic future? Join us for a strategic roundtable tabling diverse perspectives on African-led integration, innovation and sustainable growth.

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) holds transformative potential, yet it faces significant implementation challenges. At the same time, geopolitical shifts and supply chain recalibrations are creating new risks and opportunities for African economies as they pursue strategic partnerships.

This closed-door roundtable convenes policy and industry leaders, as well as investors committed to bridging policy ambition with business reality.

The roundtable is held on the sidelines of AFSIC 2025, during London’s premier week for African investment dialogue. It features an opening keynote address by Lord (Dominic) Johnson, Former Chairman of the Conservative Party.

• AfCFTA in Practice: Implementation realities, progress, and practical pathways forward
• Doing Business on the Ground: Sector innovation across manufacturing, financial services and emerging industries
• Strategic Partnerships: Building sustainable, globally competitive African business models
