We’re thrilled to welcome a visionary whose work has reshaped the landscape of fashion, trade, and economic development across Africa and beyond. Skander Negasi is the CEO of Trade and Fairs Group (TFG), a German-based powerhouse with deep roots in East Africa. Under his leadership, TFG has become the continent’s leading organizer of international exhibitions in textiles, leather, and fashion—most notably the AFRICA SOURCING AND FASHION WEEK, which now spans Addis Ababa, Nairobi, and Dakar, drawing over 6,000 trade professionals from more than 70 countries.

With over two decades of experience in economics, consulting, and global exhibitions, Skander’s influence extends far beyond event halls. His group represents world-renowned exhibition companies like Messe Frankfurt and actively consults regional organizations and governments to catalyze industry growth. At the heart of it all is a commitment to creating real business opportunities for African designers and manufacturers—turning creativity into commerce and vision into value.

It’s an honor to have him take time out to speak with us tonight. Let’s dive into the story behind the strategy, the passion behind the platforms, and the future of African fashion through the eyes of a global connector.

Welcome, Skander.
