Editions
A DBIC edition is a business and investment networking evening — not a conference. Every two months at the embassy of the honoured country, in person, plus an online meet-up between editions connecting the diaspora with players based in Africa.
In person, at the embassy
An in-person gathering every two months bringing together 150 to 200 participants in a privileged setting. We choose the guests and send them an invitation directly: quality matters more than volume.
Online, between two editions
A digital meet-up to present markets, projects, promising sectors and local players. It is open to everyone, with registration.
No edition scheduled yet
The DBIC cycle runs from November to July, with one edition every two months around mid-month. Create your account now: we will keep you posted as soon as the next editions open.
