Africa rising on the Global Stage – Global Business Forum Africa 2021

There cannot be food on the table without the full economic participation of citizens By Michael Tichareva I had the pleasure to be invited to the Global Business Forum Africa 2021 - held at the Dubai Exhibition Centre on 13th and 14th October 2021, organised by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Expo 2020 Dubai under the theme “Transformation Through Trade”. It was a great networking event, as I managed to leverage the event to acquire new and solid business relationships that I would otherwise not have managed had I chosen to stay away. It was truly remarkable – I held at least 10 meetings in two days with different potential business partners, including some large Dubai based investors and banks. I also had the opportunity to visit up to 6 African countries at their pavilions at Expo 2020.
