EBCAM’s member from the Netherlands NABC organised a dynamic event that attracted companies, investors, experts, governments anddelegationsfrom both continents that had the opportunity to maximise potential partnerships and collaborations.

Insightful discussions, success stories from European and African partnerships, high-level workshops and interactive sector-focused sessions, side events and exhibitions aimed to:

   2. facilitate Public-Private-Partnerships;

   3. connect (international) investors with opportunities across Africa;

   4. enable SMEs and start-ups to find alternative financing solutions; and

   5. focus on challenges and bottlenecks from the field like visas, access to finance, less bureaucracy and unfair competition from 3rd  countries

The COO of the Business Council for Africa had the chance to meet and discuss in person with the real actors of circular food production, renewable energy, and sustainable agro-logistics that contribute to the sustainable development goals.
