About

A platform to inform, engage, explore and develop

Together with our dedicated team of specialists and our extensive network of contacts, we tailor innovative events responding to the most pressing issues in Africa and the Middle East. Our events are 100% results-driven, bringing together the main stakeholders and partners involved in the topics tackled to achieve concrete action plans.

The format of our events and the participants we invite are chosen in such a way as to encourage debate, the development of ideas and action-oriented solutions.

Our events are developed in a variety of ways and include the following characteristics:

Forums, roundtables, workshops

  • Thematic: identifying key concerns and encouraging practical, innovative and development-friendly solutions and policies
  • Country-focused: presenting and analysing requirements and opportunities within a country for investors and policy makers
  • Sector-focused: discussing the latest developments and needs of specific economic sectors at both country and regional levels
  • Inter-regional and South-South cooperation focused: discussing and putting forward inter-Arab, inter-African and South-South cooperation for policy alternatives in the economic, political and social spheres

Awards

Recognising and celebrating excellence across a variety of sectors by rewarding the social, business and political leaders who have contributed most to their field

To develop our themes, we work in cooperation with leaders from business, politics and civil society, to identify key areas central to growth and development.
