SecondsWelcome to GABS 2026!
The German-African Business Summit is a Chartered Multi-Meet Summit between German and African business leaders. The main objective of the summit is to promote German business with Sub-Saharan Africa's dynamic markets — bringing together C-suite executives, government officials, and investors to drive sustainable economic growth and forge new avenues for collaboration.
Unlike typical trade delegations, GABS 2026 provides structured B2B match-making sessions, sector-specific workshops, and high-level ministerial roundtables — connecting German companies to local counterparts for free.
