About the event

Join us for the 5th edition of the Africa Day for Enterprises! This exciting event will take place at Vöhlinschloss in Illertissen, Germany. Get ready for a day filled with inspiration, networking, and opportunities. This time, we will focus on the twin transformation - the synergetic interplay of digital transformation and sustainability transformation - and its impact, particularly on the African continent.

We will explore topics such as:

What is behind the term twin transformation?
Where does Africa stand in terms of digitalization, what are the needs and opportunities?
What does sustainable development mean for Africa, what are the priorities and what fields of action arise for entrepreneurial activities?
What synergies and tensions exist between the two areas and how can they be brought together?
