GABF Launches Munich Event Supported by HypoVereinsbank, in Cooperation with State of Bavaria
The Germany Africa Business Forum announces it will host a special conference on November 28, 2017 in Munich. Supported by HypoVereinsbank (UniCredit Bank AG) and endorsed by the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs and Media, Energy and Technology, GABF Munich will unite two ideal trade partners – Bavaria and the continent of Africa. Fifty years ago, Bavaria was a heavily agricultural economy and today it is a thriving high-tech hub. Sub-Saharan Africa, where agriculture still dominates many economies, is undergoing a tech renaissance today not unlike what Bavaria experienced decades ago. “This is an incredible pairing of two potent trade partners. Bavaria’s legacy in agriculture and manufacturing and as an incubator for thousands of tech companies will complement the ambition of sub-Saharan African companies to diversify their economies,” said Guillaume Doane, Executive Director of the Germany-Africa Business Forum. “We are honored to cooperate with HypoVereinsbank and the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs and provide a platform to foster the relationship between the African and Bavarian economy.” Bavaria has one of the world’s highest levels of purchasing power and is home to more than 11,500 tech companies in construction, electronics, energy, mobile and IT industries. GABF Munich has built a program of keynote presentations and panels around sectors that have mutual value for Bavarian companies and African nations, including financial technology, agri-technology and food security and manufacturing. The Germany Africa Business Forum (GABF) draws together African business, political and societal leaders with Germany’s preeminent companies and policymakers in order to forge stronger trade and investment ties. GABF aims at bringing together shrewd entrepreneurs, key opinion leaders, and social influencers, CEO’s and selected politicians and non-governmental organizations to develop fresh commercial and social concepts that shape business, as well as economic thought and institutions.
