GTR Africa London 2021 | Global Trade Review (GTR) | 3 November 2021 | County Hall, Westminster Bridge, London, United Kingdom

This event will focus on the key trends impacting on Africa’s economic health, from the many financing challenges encountered by companies in the face of the pandemic and the role of multilaterals and DFIs in providing support, to the strains on supply chains directly and indirectly across a range of sectors, digitization drives and ongoing efforts to reduce dependence on commodities and move African companies up the value chain.

Benefitting from a special hybrid format which allows speakers to connect and participate both onstage in-person or remotely, delegates will enjoy the flexibility to choose between that unrivalled experience of live networking and knowledge sharing – all within a Covid-safe setting in accordance with the latest government guidance – or the opportunity to join virtually through our dedicated and well-established virtual event platform.
