The first edition of the African Economic Forum has just started in Tunis in the presence of more than eight African Ministers, the IDB, the Director General of BADEA who is a partner of the event and major economic and political figures from different countries.
The official opening was made by the head of government who, despite his busy professional schedule, was able via a video conference to welcome the honorable guests of Tunisia. More than 800 participants took part in this great economic meeting.
The objective of this forum would be to bring African economies closer together and to share their experiences in sectors such as ICT, construction, energy, trade and health.
Africa is today one of the two most dynamic regions in the world in terms of economic growth. The African continent will be one of the most populated continents in the world by 2050.
Today, this same Africa has more than one billion mobile phones. It must find a model of inclusive economic growth to cope with its youth, more and more demanding and connected to the world .. More than 300 B2B and B2I appointments are planned to diagnose and find the best schemes that can boost trade flows between African countries. The appointment of Tunis is decisive. Decisive for these Tunisian companies that plan to export to Africa and contribute to its economic and social development.
