About us
It is not just about business, but about pushing internationalisation and cooperation to bring together various Italian and African actors.
Cleophas Adrien Dioma
IABW Executive President
On 18 May 2016, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation organized the “First Italy-Africa Ministerial Conference” in Rome, highlighting the need to create a stable connection between the two shores of the Mediterranean, between two worlds as close as they are distant.
The Italy-Africa Conference was a spark and it is precisely to give continuity to this new process that Italia Africa Business Week (IABW) was born, a practical and high-level economic and commercial forum.
In recent years IABW has concretely managed to facilitate knowledge between the African and Italian economic, commercial and financial worlds, has created synergies and developed partnerships in various sectors: textiles and fashion, commercial, agribusiness, infrastructure.
The structure
IABW is the privileged space to discuss the challenges for the economic and commercial development of African and Italian companies in an environment with high competence and innovation.
The target
IABW involves the greatest possible number of entrepreneurs, banks, investors, stakeholders and financial markets, representatives of international financial institutions, ministries and African and Italian experts.
