The three-day conference addressed and advanced the immense opportunities for rapidly accelerating Canada-Africa trade and investment. We once again concluded with the annual VIP Reception to conclude the 3-day program.
‘’The 2023 conference in Toronto provided a phenomenal opportunity to welcome African business delegates to Canada’s largest city, while offering an enabling platform for networking, B2B meetings and deal-making in and around the 3-day program,’’ said Garreth Bloor, President of The Canada-Africa Chamber of Business.
''Outcomes included deals over a variety of B2B engagements, while as a Chamber we are pleased to have announced upcoming programs in the DRC, Kenya and South Africa in the first quarter of 2024- all as a direct outcome of this year's deliberations,'' added Bloor.
