Registrations officially open for BIASHARA AFRIKA 2026 in Lomé, Togo

Lomé is set to become the centre of African trade and investment this May, as Togo prepares to host the 2026 edition of BIASHARA AFRIKA, a continental forum bringing together the business leaders, investors and policymakers shaping the future of African economic integration.

Taking place from 18 to 20 May 2026 at the Palais des Congrès in Lomé, the three-day event will convene entrepreneurs, private sector actors and public decision-makers from across the continent.

It will hold around a shared agenda: unlocking the opportunities created by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and accelerating trade between African nations. Registrations are now open.

Organisers have launched an online information campaign targeting economic operators, young entrepreneurs and institutions keen to participate in the forum’s programme of conferences, B2B meetings, exhibitions and networking sessions. Prospective attendees are encouraged to register early to secure their place.

The 2026 edition is centred on African economic cooperation, with a particular focus on spotlighting innovative initiatives driven by African businesses.

Togolese authorities and the forum’s partners have thrown their full support behind the event, with the Ministry of Trade and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Togo both mobilised to ensure its success. Those seeking further information are directed to contact either institution directly.
