Future trends in African Economies
Speaker: Patrick Achi, Minister of State, Special Advisor to the President of Côte d’Ivoire, Former Prime Minister of Côte d’Ivoire.
This keynote will provide a comprehensive business-focused analysis of the evolving African economic landscape, highlighting the key factors driving change and shaping investment opportunities. We will explore how regional politics, shifting geopolitical dynamics, and local policy reforms are influencing the social, economic, and business environments across the continent. These factors not only affect market stability but also impact business operations, supply chains, and the overall investment climate in Africa.
In addition, we will identify emerging sectors that present significant growth potential for investors. From technology and digital transformation to renewable energy, agriculture, and fintech, Africa is experiencing a surge in innovation and market demand. However, successful market entry and investment will require navigating challenges such as regulatory complexities, political risk, and infrastructure gaps. This session will offer a practical outlook on the most promising industries and key strategies for businesses looking to capitalize on Africa’s economic transformation, while addressing the risks and opportunities in this rapidly changing environment.

The Future of Commodities in Africa: Opportunities and Challenges
Speakers:
Karim Traoré, Chief of Staff of Prime Minister Côte d’Ivoire, TRIUM 2018.
Albert Zeufack, World Bank Country Director for Angola, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Sao Tome and Principe.
Nouhoun Coulibaly, Chief of Staff, Ministry of Agriculture.
As Africa continues to play a pivotal role in the global commodities market, the future of its key resources—agriculture, energy, and mining—remains both highly promising and increasingly complex. This session will explore how shifting global market dynamics, environmental concerns, and technological advancements are reshaping Africa’s commodities sector, providing both new opportunities and unique challenges for businesses and investors.
From agricultural commodities like cocoa and coffee to the continent's rich reserves of oil, gas, and minerals such as gold, uranium, and bauxite, Africa’s resource wealth is a cornerstone of its economic development. However, the impact of global demand shifts, climate change, and sustainability regulations is altering the landscape of these industries. Moreover, geopolitical tensions, infrastructure limitations, and fluctuating prices present additional hurdles for stakeholders across the value chain.
In this panel discussion, industry experts will dive into the evolving trends and investment opportunities in Africa’s commodities markets, while critically examining the challenges that companies must navigate. With Africa's vast resource potential at the center of global energy and supply chain conversations, this session will provide essential insights for businesses seeking to capitalize on Africa’s commodity sector, while addressing the need for innovation, sustainability, and resilience in an increasingly interconnected world.
