The Forum was opened in the presence of the representative of the Minister of Youth Promotion, Professional Integration, and Civic Service; and the representative of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Côte d'Ivoire. Over two days, nearly fifty participants focused on the main theme of "Financing and Business," addressing issues such as fundraising in Africa, the challenge of bankable projects, the link between business sustainability and access to bank financing, and more.
The results of the group work undertaken by the Forum participants, mainly from small and medium-sized enterprises (T-PME/PMI), start-ups, and other local businesses, are contained in the attached document.
