Rencontres Africa, a business forum for French investors and African businesses, to be held next October in Lomé

(Togo First) - From October 5 to 7, this year, Lomé will host the Rencontres Africa summit, a gathering of French investors and African economic operators. 

This was disclosed yesterday by the event’s general commissioner, Marc Hoffmeister, in the presence of Jocelyne Caballero, France’s ambassador to Togo, Laurent Tamegnon, president of the national employers’ council of Togo, and Rose Kayi Mivedor, the Togolese minister for investment promotion. 

The event’s promoters hope to attract 150 French decision-makers, physically, and between 700  to 1000 of them virtually, and introduce them to business and partnership opportunities available in Togo. 

During the three days the summit will be held, top-level conferences, B2B meetings, networking sessions, and many more, will take place. "We believe that beyond the public support needed for development, it is up to the private sector to create value through sustainable partnerships; and Togo is a good example with structuring projects such as the PIA, the Kékéli Power Plant, and the Data Center,"  indicated Marc Hoffmeister.

Meanwhile, Minister Midevor urged local companies to participate in the upcoming forum, saying they could win contracts and secure investments by doing so.
