The African business landscape is driven by strong infrastructure development requirements, abundant natural resources, and a growing digital economy, making it a promising frontier for business and investment in sectors, such as agri-commodities, oil and gas, and manufacturing as the region industrialises. SBF organises many activities throughout the year to help companies better understand the insights and opportunities in the African markets.
