In a bid to promote trade and investment between Africa and Asia, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) recently organised a groundbreaking road show in Bangladesh to promote south-south cooperation, peer learning, and joint ventures in the textile, apparel, and footwear sectors.
The event, titled Africa-Asia Road Show: Exploring Business Opportunities, brought together the key stakeholders from both regions and aimed to facilitate collaboration and economic partnerships.
The roadshow, held at a prominent convention centre in Dhaka, attracted Government officials, business leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs from various industries.
Africa and Asia representing two dynamic regions with immense growth potential, the event provided a platform for participants to explore new avenues of cooperation.
During the roadshow, panel discussions, presentations, and networking sessions were held, highlighting the investment opportunities and market potential in both Africa and Asia. Expert speakers shared insights on emerging sectors, trade policies, investment climates, and success stories from companies that have already ventured into cross-regional partnerships.
The event also showcased success stories of existing business collaborations between African and Asian companies, fostering a spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation even as it offered a unique opportunity for participants to forge new business relationships, share best practices, and identify potential areas for investment and growth.
