Proposition

communities blauwNetworking is the central focus of our African B2B events. Business meets business, inside and outside Africa but always about Africa. Less powerpoints and more networking is our philosophy. Easy access and budget friendly. We want SME’s (Smal and Medium Enterprises) to feel welcome and supported in their business contacts. There is abundant economical evidence that approximately 90% of the new jobs are created by SME’s. In the emerging countries even more. Easy access to their fellow entrepreneurs and business leaders, exchange of knowledge and contacts will help them to grow and as such to create the back bone for jobs growth.

Our online communities of more than 1,000,000 professionals engaged in business in Africa, expressed the need of an offline set-up of connecting with other business professionals.  Africa Business Communities started Africa Networking Events and invites local hosts to cooperate in order to grow to:

  • an informal networking event in every major African city
  • a networking event in every place in the world where investments and African business find each other in the best way
  • the situation that every SME in Africa feels to get the chance to get connected with other business professionals

  • The Hamburg edition of the Africa Networking Event was a worthwhile gathering to exchange thoughts, experiences and ideas about current and future business opportunities, even beyond the current regional focus area of our organisation. It has proven to be a useful forum to openly discuss the challenges and opportunities of doing business in Africa in an informal and comfortable setting. Compliments to the hosts. Looking forward to the next event.

  • The Africa Business Communities Network event in Hamburg was simply fantastic. From a business point of view, I'm glad to say that the event worked well as it promoted interaction between professionals from diverse fields of interest. The venue, the people and the environment met my expectations from a professional and social perspective.

It was a great opportunity for me to meet great people from different fields, and it was mostly beneficial to my research projects.

  • The networking event we attended, hosted by African Business Communities created a relaxed environment to meet new people in Accra’s busy business setting. Held at Movenpick Hotel, it was the perfect place to have a drink and meet people from a range of industries. I would definitely attend another one!

  • It was a great event in Amsterdam at the Amstel Hotel. Loved the location (could park right in front of the hotel). Spoke with interesting entrepreneurs. Made closer connection with 1 company in the Netherlands.

  • I am still in contact with many of the people I met at an Africa Business Communities event in Accra-Ghana and I am looking forward to the next one. The work that Africa Business Communities is doing to combine online interactions with offline networking has been very useful to me.

  • This network event is exactly what is needed to finally see people face to face with whom I have been mailing or calling. Now I know the faces behind the voices and it was very helpful, to informally go deeper into some considerations that are overlooked in the fast digital communications.

Africa Networking Events offers also the possibility to create a predefined encounter with for example online table seating. People who will attend the event can choose with whom they want to sit at a table, or want to meet one-to one or which workshop they want to attend. Africa Networking Events has a partnership with the company NetworkTables which uses online table/seat configuration for an improved networking experience.

Our SEO optimized responsive site makes the entry barrier for a host to start an B2B event very, very low. It provides the infrastructure for event organizers (hosts) to create a variety of ticket options to accommodate the maximum number of attendees and collect the right fees. An unlimited number of tickets can be configured with many options. With the Africa Networking event-site, you can give visitors a great experience when they register and you can easily collect information from them. You can even have a subdomain on the website for your B2B event in your own look and feel.
