Two main institutons will be present: The German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) which have considerably expanded their network in Africa in recent years. Market experts and entrepreneurs will present experiences in different sectors - such as renewable energies or the rapidly developing start-up scene in Africa.

On the other hand, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) will present how development cooperation relies on local entrepreneurial commitment and how Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be achieved. At the Global Business & Markets area, Africa is also very present by activities of UNIDO, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. Through this, the HANNOVER MESSE offers a unique potential for new contacts from this economically dynamic continent.
