How the Second Africa Trade and Investment Summit Will Boost Africa’s Economic Development

Africa is a continent of immense opportunities and challenges. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, a GDP of over $2.6 trillion, and a young and dynamic workforce, Africa has the potential to become a global economic powerhouse. However, Africa also faces many obstacles, such as poverty, inequality, conflict, climate change, and infrastructure gaps, that hinder its growth and development.

Objectives

To address these challenges and unlock Africa’s potential, there is a need for more trade and investment within and outside the continent. Trade and investment can foster economic integration, create jobs, reduce poverty, enhance competitiveness, and spur innovation. Trade and investment can also help Africa achieve its development goals, such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), Agenda 2063, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

To promote and facilitate trade and investment in Africa, the Investment Center of Africa (ICOA) is organizing the second Africa Trade and Investment Summit (ATIS) on December 4, 2023, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Theme

The theme of the summit is “Driving African Economic Development through Sustainable Trade and Investment Opportunities.”. The summit will showcase success stories and best practices from entrepreneurs and investors that are making a positive impact in Africa. The summit will also help explore the immense trade and investment potential of Africa and leverage digital technologies and innovation to drive growth and sustainability.

The summit will feature high-level speakers who will shed light on key topics and trends shaping Africa’s socio-economic landscape. Some of the topics that will be covered include:

• The role of trade and investment in advancing Africa’s development agenda.
