In support of the coronation of King Charles III, the British African Business Forum is organising the UK-African Heritage Conference. The conference is significant in more ways than one as the heritage conference is bringing onboard Africa’s own royalty, with rich cultural heritage and beauty from different countries across Africa while celebrating the establishment of monarchy.
There will be an unlimited display of royalty and culture from Ghana, South Africa, Nigeria, Niger, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Uganda and many more – the stage is simply set for the royals!
Empirical evidence gathered since the 1970s shows that most sub-Saharan businesses and entrepreneurs struggle to grow their businesses and are more likely to fail due to the high levels of uncertainty and risk in their local environments. This instability is brought about by many factors, including political and economic instability, changes in global commodity prices, and regulations.
Thus, the UK-African Heritage Conference seeks to increase trade, support and create investment and business opportunities between the UK and Africa to help these businesses. The conference will provide a forum to discuss entrepreneurship, banking, finance, infrastructure development, healthcare, education, energy, Agri-tech, legal services, pharmaceuticals, ICT, agriculture, and many more, with the aim of strengthening relations between continents and helping businesses grow.
The conference will have investors and businesspeople from top global brands – both in the UK and Africa – who will be present to network and share insightful knowledge, tips and strategies.
