Meet with more than 500 participants from Asia, Africa and around the world to learn, connect, and explore partnerships in Africa.
The Africa Singapore Business Forum (ASBF) is the premier platform for business exchange and fostering trade between Africa and Asia. Since it was launched in 2010, it has brought together over 5,000 business and government leaders from over 50 countries to explore partnerships and growth opportunities between these two dynamic regions.
The African market presents strong potential for companies, with high-growth opportunities in energy and sustainability, consumer goods, digital tech, and built environment. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is expected to accelerate intra-African trade and investment, and create a large common market.
ASBF presents in-depth and candid expert insights from business leaders and practitioners with extensive experience in Africa. A key feature of the event is its proactive business matching component.
ASBF is organised by Enterprise Singapore every two years.
