Dubai Chamber has announced the launch of “Why Africa”, a new initiative highlighting the untapped business potential in West Africa, as well as the region’s key economic indicators and competitive advantages.
The initiative comprises in-depth analyses conducted by Dubai Chamber and based on recent data from UNCTAD, up-to-date insights for prospective investors and recent trade trends.
The initiative was launched in the lead up to the Global Business Forum (GBF) Africa 2021, which takes place October 13-14 on the side-lines of Expo 2020 Dubai.
“Africa is one of the world’s most promising regions for economic growth, which is featured prominently on many global indicators in recent years as one to watch out for. Market research is essential for UAE investors who are studying the possibility of expanding their businesses into Africa. Dubai Chamber’s ‘Why Africa?’ initiative seeks to provide such insights that can help them make a more informed business decision,” said His Excellency Hamad Buamim, President and CEO of Dubai Chamber.
GBF Africa 2021 is being hosted at Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo 2020 Dubai under the theme Transformation Through Trade with the forum bringing the trade and investment community together to explore bilateral trade opportunities between Dubai and sub-Saharan Africa. The event is the first in Dubai Chamber’s programme of events that it is running under its role as the Official Business Integration Partner for Expo 2020 Dubai, with other Global Business Forums turning the focus to the ASEAN region and Latin America.
