As EurAfrican plans its next Business Forum, it looks for a proactive opportunity to build a common business ground between Europe and Africa.

The Forum, which is planned to hold on July 2nd and 3rd in Cascais, Portugal, will gather over 700 European and African key actors from more than 60 countries.

This year’s edition will look for new opportunities for both continents as it unveils its theme: “In Search for a Common Ground”.

The program will focus on key topics as Africa and Europe relations, Free Trade Agreements, Climate Change, African Arts and Culture, Infrastructure, Connectivity and Off-grid solutions.

The annual gathering will be attended by over 700 African and European changemakers such as entrepreneurs, artists, activists, public and private decision leaders, in Cascais, Portugal.

“It is now time to establish a structured cooperation between Africa and Europe, engaging not only public decision makers but creating a denser network, embarking in the discussions entrepreneurs, young people, women, artists, scientists,” said José Manuel Durão Barroso, Chairman of the EurAfrican Forum.

“2020 is a pivotal year for Europe and Africa as this new decade marks the unavoidable collaboration between our continents at a time when climate change, demographic challenges and the technologic revolution are central pieces of Africa and Europe’s sustainable development puzzle”, said Filipe de Botton, Chairman of the Board of the Portuguese Diaspora Council.

As Europe and Africa face common challenges, the EurAfrican Forum exists as a platform to work on future partnerships for sustainable solutions. Exploiting synergies and promoting business opportunities with mutual benefits, the event will be sharing initiatives, in search for a common ground.
