Casablanca Business Forum

Africa is entering a decisive phase in its economic development, shaped by a volatile global landscape and urgent domestic priorities. Rising geopolitical tensions, trade fragmentation and climate instability are influencing investment flows and reshaping how African economies engage with the world. At the same time, structural needs — such as improving energy access, strengthening food and health systems, expanding financial inclusion and accelerating digital transformation — demand bold, co-ordinated action. 

While these challenges are complex, they also present an opportunity for African governments and businesses to build greater resilience and drive broader-based growth. Cities like Casablanca are emerging as strategic hubs, offering insight into how to scale across diverse markets. Meanwhile, technology and sustainable finance are creating new levers for development, if deployed with the right frameworks. Confronting today’s geo- economic challenges requires clear vision, regional collaboration and long-term investment. 

Casablanca Finance City, in partnership with the Financial Times, is pleased to announce the 1st edition of the Casablanca Business Forum.

Under the theme “Positioning Africa’s companies for growth in a changing global economy”, this high-level event will bring together public decision-makers, investors, business leaders, and international experts.

The Casablanca Business Forum is held with the support of the Région Casablanca - Settat.
