Canada-US Business Forum on Africa to Convene in Washington, DC

The Canada-Africa Chamber of Business is set to host its inaugural Canada-US Business Forum on Africa on May 22, 2024, in Washington, DC. The forum aims to explore collaboration opportunities between Canada, the US, and African partners, focusing on trade and investment projects. Significant attention will be given to the Lobito Corridor as a case study for potential partnerships in African markets.

Discussions will cover various sectors, including mining and infrastructure, highlighting the deepening of economic ties through strategic partnerships. Canadian and US firms are encouraged to engage deeply with African counterparts to facilitate major projects in the region. Gabriel Tshitende, a key figure from Elephant Trade-Services and the forum's headline sponsor, emphasizes the significance of de-risking solutions for co-investments and joint ventures in stabilizing these partnerships.

The event will see participation from high-level officials and strategists from North America and Africa, aiming to bolster direct business ties. Availability is limited, and prospective participants are encouraged to register early to secure a place at this pivotal gathering.
