For the ninth consecutive year, the International Economic Forum on Africa will bring together hundreds of representatives from government, civil society, foundations, the media, corporations and academia to debate the short- and long-term future of African economies.
No other public meeting in Europe gathers more people interested in, or working on Africa.
Why become a sponsor?
Hosted by the OECD, the African Development Bank and the UN Economic Commission for Africa, three trusted institutions on the forefront of Africa’s development, the Forum provides your company with a respected, high-profile environment in which to transmit your message and image.
The current economic crisis will guarantee record turnout this year with everyone in the Africa community and beyond concerned about the fate of the continent. Sponsorship guarantees access to a captive audience and associates you with the leading policy dialogue forum on one of the most dynamic regions in the world today.
Last year we welcomed over 500 people to hear from leaders in business and government including Ibrahima N’Diaye, Minister of Labour and Vocational Education, Mali; Marc Rennard, Executive Vice President for Africa, ME & Asia, France Telecom; Rami Antaki, Vice Chairman, Telecel Globe Ltd; Nolitha Fakude, Executive Director, Sasol, South Africa; and Neil Harvey, CEO, Africa and New Markets, Renaissance Capital.

Online simultaneous broadcasting of the Forum by the French Ministry of the Economy will guarantee optimal exposure and visibility of the meeting – and your brand— in France and around the world. The meeting video will remain on the official Forum website for one year.
