In partnership with BUSINESSMED, the 3rd Edition of the Italia Africa Business Week Forum took place at the Milan Convention Center, Milan, Italy on the 26 and the 27 November 2018.

In the previous editions, IABW has concretely succeeded in facilitating the knowledge between the African economic, commercial and financial world and the Italian one. It has created synergies and developed partnerships in various sectors: textiles and fashion, commercial, agribusiness, construction. In order to improve these relationships, to favour the creation of networks and to achieve a shared growth of both sides in win-win mode, the third edition of Italia Africa Business Week focused on building the 4.0 business.

After the opening conference, workshops, group sessions and B2B meetings took place simultaneously in different rooms: hundreds of companies, professionals, and experts from different sectors attended, in addition to a large representation of the diplomatic African entities.

IABW aims to be one of the main economic events for influential African managers, entrepreneurs, and operators of the Italian market. A privileged space to discuss the challenges for the economic and commercial development of the African and Italian businesses and a major platform of business meetings for the two shores of the Mediterranean.
