GTR’s Africa Trade & Export Finance Week returned to Cape Town on March 1-2 2018, drawing over 300 delegates to Cape Town International Convention Centre for two days of in-depth discussions on African trade, exports and infrastructure.

The event has provided a crucial networking and discussion forum for Africa’s corporates, financiers, trade specialists, export credit agencies and service providers for well over a decade, providing extensive opportunities to meet industry experts, receive market updates and create new business, with this year’s instalment receiving an overwhelmingly positive response from delegates.

Topics covered included macroeconomic perspectives on the outlook for Africa as a whole, private sector viewpoints, financing shortfalls and the role of banks, regional risk snapshots, commodity financing trends, technological developments such as blockchain and AI/robotics, along with the social and developmental impact of developing local infrastructure in communities.

“Very informative and good networking opportunity.”

J Kinyangi, Standard Bank

“Great opportunity to network with peers and banks across the region.”

A Kamsal, Olam

“A fantastic networking event.”

R Parson, Clyde & Co
