Nederland-Ghana Business Fair Europe-Africa

The Netherlands-Ghana Business Fair has been the major annual event of AfroEuro Foundation in collaboration with the Embassy of Ghana in the Netherlands, Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) and Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) since 2010. Its goal is to create an atmosphere of partnerships and networks for many investors bilaterally and globally from the Netherlands. Unfortunately, the last two years had the event improvised to reach out to business investors and prospective partners due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The event was thus held virtually through an online conference with delegates from Ghana and Netherlands via zoom. Notwithstanding the challenges, this year’s event will be held again in The Netherlands to host attendance of participants, stakeholders, and partners under one roof. The event will target Dutch business investors and Ghanaian businessmen, entrepreneurs, companies, and investors.

The objectives of this year’s event are: bridging the gap between Dutch investors and Ghanaian Businesses as well as provide an opportunity to know more about the changing trends in ecommerce, digitalisation, data censoring, as well as, knowing the latest products and services in the business-technology industry. In addition, the event will bring together industry players and professional, business experts of both countries under one umbrella to discuss numerous trade issues, import and export, including business policies, plans, future market conditions, and marketing strategies.

Furthermore, the fair’s main feature is its capacity to provide participants with a plethora of information which is unavailable elsewhere, and a multiplicity of benefits. This includes opportunities for networking, free business guide, efficient collection of business-related information of both countries to grow their businesses.

In this age of information communication technology, digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and incorporation of the multiverse, the business world seeks to leverage on identifiable working fields for growth and expansion. As such the event will provide marketing opportunities for companies from both countries looking to raise their profile and promote their products and services to attract receptive business audience around the globe. As the only event where all aspirants interested in bilateral trade can meet and dialogue on areas of interest, it will also provide a direct link to numerous business opportunities.
