Agenda

On 23 and 24 October 2019, CJD Senegal and CJD Guinea are organizing in Dakar an International Business Forum named FIELD – Forum of Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Leadership. The main theme of this 1st edition will be: “Investing in Senegal: Opportunity, Support, Diaspora” and will be attended by high-growth business leaders from Europe, North Africa and West Africa. 

It will also bring together entrepreneurs, experts, support structures, officials around several activities (plenary sessions, panels, workshops, B2B, etc.). Also, technical, financial and business support structures will be available to the general public during the two days.  

The FIELD will thus be a unique opportunity to develop its business network and access new markets.

On the agenda for these two intensive days:

• Plenary sessions on the support mechanisms set up by Senegal to facilitate diaspora investment 
• Launch of the DiafrikInvest digital platform supported by the CJD to promote productive investment from the diaspora,
• Exhibition of products and services from high-growth companies 
• Networking sessions 
• Training in personal development, management and leadership 
• Discussion panels on powerful topics such as women’s leadership, culture, ethics and business
• Inspiring testimonials from entrepreneurs and leaders 
• Many stands animated, in particular by technical and financial support structures
   

Special Mention: this year we have the honour to be sponsored by His Excellency Mr. Sory Kaba, Director General of Senegalese Abroad.
