Africa Business Dialogue 2026

Africa is home to some of the world’s most dynamic economies. Rapidly growing populations, world-class talent in tech and services, abundant renewable energy potential, and expanding consumer markets make the continent a defining arena for global business in the decades ahead. This event is your entry point, with the context, connections, and candour you need to engage meaningfully.

Mark the date in your agenda and join us on the 24th of September in Ede for the Africa Business Dialogue organsied by the Netherlands Enterpise Agency (RVO) and Oost NL.

This dialogue spans six sectors at the heart of African economic growth: agri & food, energy transition, digital economy, life sciences & health, logistics & ports, and critical raw materials.

It’s designed for entrepreneurs at every stage of the journey, whether you’re exploring African markets for the first time and want an honest picture of both the opportunities and the context, or you’re a start-up with international experience ready to expand into new regions, or an established company looking to deepen existing partnerships. We particularly encourage female entrepreneurs to join: building a space where diverse voices shape the conversation isn’t a side note, it’s central to how we work.
