Princely mission to Senegal
Do you want to develop your business in Atlantic West Africa? From 7 to 10 June 2020, join the Belgian delegations during our Prince’s mission in Dakar, which we are organising together with the Belgian Foreign Trade Agency, Awex, FIT and FPS Foreign Affairs.
After recognising the attractiveness of the Senegalese market and finally opening an agency in Dakar at the beginning of the year, we invite you to join us for the Prince’s mission in Dakar to discover the numerous commercial possibilities offered in eight key sectors by this West African market.
A multi-sectoral mission in which female entrepreneurship will feature prominently
Under the leadership of Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid, this multi-sectoral mission will highlight, in particular, the participation of women in the economic development between our two continents. The Women in Business cluster will provide you with the opportunity to participate in the seminar “Female entrepreneurs: drivers of economic and human growth between Europe and Africa”.
