Our neighbouring continent Africa continues to be massively underestimated economically. Although around 1.3 billion people live here in 54 very different countries, less than 2% of Baden-Württemberg's exports go to Africa to date. Yet the African middle class, which is keen to consume and innovate, is growing all the time.

By 2050, a quarter of the world's population is expected to come from Africa. Africa's geopolitical importance is increasing, so if you are planning to diversify your trading partners and supply chains, consider the African private sector!

At the 4th Africa Business Summit on 2 October 2024 in Stuttgart, you can find out about business opportunities in Africa based on selected sectors such as digitalisation, greentech and renewable energies and immerse yourself in the fascinating regions of our partner continent.

Experts from Germany and Africa will be on hand to share information and experiences. Discuss with us and make the most of the contacts available. I look forward to seeing you at the 4th Africa Business Summit.
