The Africa Roundtable | Roadmap to Africa: A Turning Point in Economic Relations

Описание: As the side event to the annual ‪@moibrahimfoundation‬'s Ibrahim Governance Weekend (#IGW), this edition of The Africa Roundtable addressed the perspectives deriving from the geopolitical shifts we encounter around the world. The need to decouple and diversify sheds a different light on Africa and marks a turning point in Europe-Africa economic relations. Under the credo “Roadmap to Africa”, participants identified the opportunities to deepen trade and investment relations as well as leveraging private and institutional funding.

This edition of The Africa Roundtable was presented by the Global Perspectives Initiative in cooperation with the Mo Ibrahim Foundation in #Nairobi, the economic and technological hub of East Africa.

The format is supported by several partners: the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (‪@BMZ‬), the Bill & Melinda ‪@GatesFoundation‬, the ‪@moibrahimfoundation‬, and the Federation of German Industries (‪@bdiberlin‬). Our research partners ‪@McKinsey‬ and ‪@irenkenyaltd‬ provided the basis for fruitful discussions.
