DUBAI, United Arab Emirates–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Dubai Chamber) has announced its
plans to host the fifth edition of the Global Business Forum (GBF) on
Africa on November 18th-19th 2019 in Dubai under the patronage of His
Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime
Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Organised under the theme “Scale Up Africa”, GBF Africa 2019 will bring
together African and UAE government and business leaders to explore
avenues of economic cooperation and facilitate bilateral trade and
investment flows.
The high-level forum will place a key focus on forging the connections
that will enable scale up, and explore how public and private sector
players in Africa and the UAE can work together to sustainable
partnerships. Among the key topics to be addressed by delegates at the
forum are the role of public-private cooperation and startups in driving
economic growth, key challenges and opportunities that are emerging
across the continent.
“Over the years, the Global Business Forum on Africa has established
itself as one of the world’s leading platforms that fosters cooperation
between Africa and the UAE and positions Dubai as a global gateway for
African companies. The forum offers an unrivalled opportunity for key
decision makers to explore investment opportunities in Africa and forge
new partnerships that pave the way for mutual benefits and economic
growth,” said H.E. Hamad Buamim, President & CEO of Dubai Chamber of
Commerce and Industry.
GBF Africa supports Dubai Chamber’s international strategy and ongoing
expansion efforts in Africa, where the organisation currently operates
four representative offices in Ethiopia, Ghana, Mozambique and Kenya,
adding that the upcoming forum would offer valuable insights on business
potential in promising African markets that have yet to be fully
explored. Standard Bank and Invest Africa are supporting the upcoming
forum as event partners.
