Call for speakers – EU-Africa Summit 2025

DIGITAL SME is selecting SME speakers for the 3rd EU-Africa Summit 2025 – taking place from 19 to 21 June 2025 in Johannesburg (South Africa).

This year’s edition of the event will focus on how Entrepreneurial Creativity, the EU’s Global Gateway and the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) can advance the sustainable development agenda in both continents.

The African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) aims to boost regional trade, drive inclusive growth, and provide access to essential services. The EU’s “Global Gateway” strategy supports this by fostering sustainable, green, and digital recovery in Africa. SMEs and Mid-Caps are crucial in achieving AfCFTA’s goals and supporting sustainable development. Their involvement in both Africa and Europe is key to maximising the potential of both AfCFTA and the Global Gateway initiative.

Specifically, DIGITAL SME is looking for SMEs which can pitch solutions related to digital platforms facilitating remote access to services.

Please note that travel and accommodation expenses will not be covered.

The deadline to submit applications is 15 April 2025. To apply, please fill in the form below.
