The inaugural edition
The first Canada–Africa Business Summit marked a step toward stronger commercial, investment and institutional relationships between Canada and Africa. Hosted in partnership with the City of Brampton, it brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, professionals and community organizations in Ontario.
Participants discussed trade, entrepreneurship, technology, industrial development and ways Canadian and African organizations could work together. The summit established a dedicated place for decision-makers to meet, compare priorities and begin conversations that could continue beyond the event.
