About
As part of the 2nd edition of the ‘Foire internationale des entrepreneurs de la diaspora africaine’, hub.brussels is organising a seminar dedicated to the economic potential of Guinea. This country, in the midst of transformation, is now a strategic market offering numerous opportunities for investment and sustainable partnerships.
Held in Brussels, this event will enable European companies to prepare for the economic mission planned for October 2026 by deepening their understanding of local dynamics, growth sectors and conditions for accessing the Guinean market. Participants will gain insights into the role of institutions, on-the-ground realities, as well as feedback from stakeholders already active between Belgium and Guinea.
This seminar also serves as a platform for meetings and exchanges between investors, companies, institutions and members of the diaspora, encouraging the emergence of concrete collaborations. It will conclude with a networking drink to extend discussions and strengthen professional connections.
