The Canada-Africa Chamber of Business is delighted to announce our Africa Accelerating 2025 program will take place in Canada and South Africa this September.
The program will comprise conferences in Canada and South Africa, in the first and second halves of September respectively. During a momentous year where Canada leads the G7 and South Africa heads the G20, as the first African country to do so, we look forward to welcoming leaders accelerating Canada-Africa trade and investment from among all members and guests.
Confirmed dates will be announced soon, alongside high-level Ministerial participation.
Last year, in addition to private sector leaders, Africa Accelerating 2024 in Ottawa and Toronto welcomed Prime Minister Judith Suminwa Tuluka as the Guest of Honour, with messages once again from Canada's Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau and CEOs from Canada and the African continent.
